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. The warehouses were numbered 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 from the top to the bottom of the hill. Today, only warehouse 40 remains, after the buildngs became derelict and there were a series of fires. 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.
