Until the early 1520s, a fish market (Fisketorget, "The Fisherman's Square") was found between the location of the present alley and the alley south of it, Brunnsgränd, the square at the time forming a natural continuation to Köpmangatan ("The Merchant's Street"), the street leading east from the central square Stortorget.[1]

One of the old town's most elaborated portals are found on 2, Nygränd.[2]
