Description and History of Site:-
From medieval times this narrow lane was the route from the Town Wharf up into the town. It is laid with a stone cartway - twin tracks of granite blocks - with setts between. The ramp at the bottom of the lane allowed carts to go down onto the mud at low tide (before Richmond Weir was built), so that goods could be lowered into them over the boat sides.

Note sign on corner building marking 1928 flood.
