Flight of pavement steps with limestone risers, c. 1860. Including some stone steps, and a boundary wall to either side. Modern handrail inserted.
Appraisal
Nineteenth-century steps with limestone risers, including some stone steps, having importance as surviving example in reasonable condition, where other similar examples have been lost. These steps form part of an interesting group with similar nineteenth-century paving schemes. Steps such as these are found in many location throughout the city, and contribute to the unique character of the city. These paving schemes utilised cut limestone, which in many cases has been replaced or covered with concrete.
