This narrow road, which at one time ran right through to Hackney Road, but is now a cul-de-sac, is lined with tall warehouses, some of which have been converted into apartments. The roof-mounted pulleys survive - possibly they are now used, Amsterdam-style, to transfer furniture into and out of the apartments.
