xfox3x Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Does anyone remember when the handrails were put on Blake Street? I seem to remember them being there for over 40 years, but OH thinks they've only been there for about 20 years. Have tried looking on the net, but no joy. Can any of you help?

carosio Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Tried to tack up the hill on my pushbike with Sturmey Archer 3-speed gears but didn't get more than a few yards mainly due to the uneven cobbles. It might be possible now with low geared mountain bikes. This would be around 1960-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well I'm sure the hand rails were there when I used to go up and down and that was in the early sixties. I know because I used to go to my friend's house on Boyce Street, I lived on Daniel Hill opposite the wash house. In the winter you wouldn't have got up the Road without the rails to help, you would have slipped straight to the bottom.We used to teeter up and down in high heels come ice or sun.
