I believe that the steps are private property owned by the owners of Victory House and not a public right of way despite hundreds of people using the cut through each day. There used to be a gate outside the old Laughing Buddha that they closed and locked for 24 hours a few times a year just so that they could document that it isn’t a public right of way. The building works seem to be an extension of that. There was, prior to the Victory House build, a Lhergy or hill path that ran from Great Nelson St to the other end of the building, you could access it as a short cut from Hyslop's, where the phone shop is. I always imagined this path was relocated to where it is presently, it linked the upper brough to Callow slip, later renamed Drumgold street and Regent Street. "A cul-de-sac off Great Nelson St. in Woods' Plan of 1833, this came out on Prospect Hill nearly opposite Athol St." Edited May 3, 2023 by mollag found an image 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omobono Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I see bathing showers have been installed on Peel promenade , this City obviously likes to keep ahead of the game and provide decent facilities for its ratepayers and visitors be interesting to see what Douglas City comes back with to retain its dominance as a word leader in off shore bathing , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
