Our History
Our laneway's story began decades ago. Historically, a building at 105 Bridge Street housed Kirby Carriers, a Nelson family-owned freight company, for 40 years.
In 2013 Galen King, founder of the award-winning coworking space The Bridge Street Collective, purchased the land with a vision to expand the Bridge Street Collective's community-inspired space.
Not wanting to lose the site's connection to its history, Mr King chose to bring back the Kirby name, this time under the title of Kirby Lane.
Kirby Lane lives on to bring the vast communities of Nelson together through our food truck market, pop-up events and functions.
With beautifully designed seating and plenty of space to relax and entertain, we have created a community space for all to enjoy.
We are local, we are community focused, we are Kirby Lane.
