Hanover Street
Hanover Street in Newcastle runs from Clavering Place in a roughly south-west direction down to Close. Hanover Street was laid out when massive bonded warehouses were built here for Amor Spoor from 1841-1844. Notably, the street retains its original stone tramways - large granite baulks, laid into the cobbled surface. These were once common in cobbled streets or on steep hills, where the stone 'tramways' formed a smooth path for cart wheels.
