Lark Lane has been an area of great character ever since it was
first noted in a street directory over 125 years ago.
During the 19th century the buildings which now house Maranto's were in use by such diverse occupants as a
Chemist, a Plumbers Merchant, Hosier and Wesleyan Mission Chapel.

In the first
quarter of this century the main (Restaurant) building was put to popular use as cocoa rooms for local workers and their families. During
the same period the Gathering
Place site has passed through various hands as a Laundry, Skating Academy and
after the Great War, as premises for a Motor Company. A Child Welfare centre
and an Antique
Dealer occupied the respective
buildings during the "Swinging Sixties" and, prior to the
refurbishment by Maranto's (1983) the main site was
used by a manufacturer of window blinds.
