Reader Comments for Tilly Whim Lane
It could be named after the Tilly Whim Caves on the Isle of Purbeck. Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_Whim_Caves says that the Tilly is named after a quarry man called George Tilly and Whim after a primitive type of Crane he used.
The earliest mention I can find to Tilly Whim Caves is 1841. This is a newspaper article about a gang of smugglers were caught.
It could be that the name is lost to Antiquity.
An interesting fact about the lane is that the Marconi Company conducted radio experiments here in 1925 and paid to repair the lane.
