Archers lane

In a document of 1621, the lane was named Yegupyevskaya Street, apparently by the name of the landlord. In the middle of the XVII century, the lane was part of Yevplovka (this street also included part of the Bolshoy Zlatoustinsky lane and the section of Myasnitskaya street to Milyutinsky lane ), named after the church of Archdeacon Yevpl . Later it was called St. George Lane in the Church of St. George in Archers. The church’s stone building was built at the end of the 17th century, but the first information about the St. George Church “at the Cow's Ground” ( St. George in Russia was considered the patron saint of cattle breeding) dates back to the 1460s. In 1638, the church was named "Yegoriy in Lushki" (that is, in the meadows). The modern name of the lane received in 1922. It was named, according to one version, according to the village of Luchniki, located on this place in the 17th century, where artisans who made onions lived, according to another version, they sold onions here ^[1] .
