This used to be a bus lane until central Darlington was pedestrianised quite recently (the work took an extraordinary amount of time, during which pedestrians were disrupted even more than traffic). Blackwellgate leads between Binns and Boyes towards High Row, where water cascading down steps (a deliberately built feature) has the inevitable effect of causing shoppers to rush away in search of public toilets. Can't be good for business.
