The Lane can often feel like an underground passage on a dark day in winter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The design complements the two way pedestrian movement up and down St Leonard&#8217;s Lane in a painted labyrinth which Tracy, as the owner of the fence, gave me permission to create.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;In the design I have tried to acknowledge the presence of the Tea Rooms in the directional signs.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Peter added: &#8220;I\u2019ve called it the Fork and Spoon because the fence belongs to The Yorkshire Tea Room and Tracy, who prepares the meals there, gave me permission to go ahead. It\u2019s a two way labyrinth , from both directions but it\u2019s also like a Roman mosaic design that would have been found in this area at one time.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Tracy said when Peter had approached her she thought it was a great idea.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I love the design, it fits in with the Tea Rooms with the Fork and Spoon and its had a lot of interest from customers.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I think a lot of people will come and see it and it brightness up the alley.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A labyrinth has been painted on the corner of Castlegate and St Leonard&#8217;s Lane.
