History
Logic Lane was formerly known as Horseman Lane in the 13th and 14th centuries. During the medieval period, a horse-mill was located here. It was also known as Horsemull Lane. The name of Logic Lane was adopted by the 17th century, due to a school of logicians at the northern end of the lane.
A medieval street used to run across Logic Lane as an extension of the current Kybald Street to the west, but was closed in 1448.
In 1904, a covered bridge at the High Street end of the lane was built to link the older part of the college with the then new Durham Buildings. The lane was officially a public bridleway and the City Council opposed the scheme, but the court judgement was in favour of the college.
