Many are too steep and narrow for cars:

Steep and narrow doesn’t begin to describe it. Phew!

Wow! These are incredible, Helen. ‘Skid Row’ looks a real challenge. The steps remain me very much of Edinburgh and their steps off the Royal Mile 🙂

You’re right it is like the steep “closes” off Royal Mile. Thanks for all your encouraging comments, Paul.
