This vertiginous street seems to swoop straight down so it's easy to imagine why a funicular railway was thought to be needed in the late C19; in fact it lasted only a couple of years as it was not cost effective to run. See http://www.tramwayinfo.com/Tramframe.htm?http://www.tramwayinfo.com/Cards/Postc40.htm Recently the hill has been improved with relaid cobbles and installation new 'period' street furniture.
