History Trinity Lane originally linked the High Street (now Trinity Street) with the wharfs on the River Cam. In the 16th century, the east–west part of the lane was known as Find Silver Lane or King's Childer Lane and the north–south section formed part of Mill Street. Before King's College was built, this street continued on to what is now known as Queens' Lane, leading off the north of Silver Street. Trinity Lane has changed little for several centuries.
