Hanover Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
The two lines of Shap granite blocks on the right hand side of the street that rises steeply from Close provided a smooth surface for carts, while the horses pulling them would get a good grip on the cobbles between. This system was only provided for uphill traffic. The idea is thought to have been used first in northern Italy and introduced in the early nineteenth century.
