At one point, Lancaster was the name of the village just north of this area that later became part of Bridgeport, and then Kitchener. I suspect Lancaster Street is so named because it led to the village. From this perspective, Lancaster makes sense as a name even if something is not right on the street.

526 is just a deep lot on Lancaster St. The eastward continuation from Bridgeport as Riverbend is relatively new. When the address was assigned there would have been just the lane that you can see on the GIS map just north of 518.
