Hanover Street

.

.
Hanover Street was a site of bustling and thriving warehouses built between 1841 and 1844 by Amor Spoor. Some suffered bomb damage during World War Two and the rest were finally abandoned during the 1970s. Those on the south side have now been converted into modern apartments. This view shows parallel rows of smooth stones which were set in the cobbles to make it easier for horse drawn carts to get up and down the slope.

  1. I guess you don't see too many horse drawn carts there these days!
