For storytellers
Why Rope Street matters
This lane is so narrow you can touch both walls. It was once a passage for firefighters and is now a fun photo stop. You'll find it tucked away between old walls, a good little detour on a walk through town.
Talking points
- It is only a metre or so wide.
- Originally a fire passage.
- A short walk from Council Square.
