Template:Short description A laystall was a place where cattle going to market could be held, and by extension became a term for a place where detritus (particularly dung) was accumulated awaiting its removal.
The siting of laystalls was a contentious issue during the rebuilding of London after the fire of 1666, due to the noise and nuisance they created.[1] Several streets in the UK bear the name Laystall Street, such as in Clerkenwell, London.
