    Hiking

    This medieval staircase still very much in use today - an interesting little nook in Bristol.

    Hiking

    Narrow steep steps with a couple of smaller shops on both sides and a relaxed old fashioned atmosphere.

    The steep-slanted steps were constructed in September 1669 and were paid for by wealthy wine merchant, Jonathan Blackwell. Prior to this there had been a steep, muddy and narrow street leading from the bridge over the Frome outside the city walls near the old St Bartholomew's Hospital, towards St Michael's church.

    The four flights of steps which are dated 1865 and 1881 are grade II listed buildings, and are now home to a variety of shops.
