Make sure your car has a good handbrake! It's fine in my opinion; even as someone with anxiety probelems, I used to walk up and down it a lot at all times of day and night before me and my other half lived together. There are council properties right at the the bottom as far as I remember, but that was never an issue while I was there. Really really good pub at the top. Bit of a pain in the snow though.

The houses at the bottom of the road are not council, they were built by housing association for people to buy on a full or part rent part buy scheme. my mum and dad lived on there for many years never had any problems its quit a student populated area.

Like said above, you need a good handbrake! Always park with the wheels on full lock! In icy or snow conditions don't even think about it. Park outside Upperthorpe baths and walk. Thats if you have a good pair of legs and lungs.

 

I had to walk up it on Monday. Knackered at the top at the Blake was shut. Gutted.

 

As for living in the area then yes. I would live there. I lived on Upperthorpe as a kid. Happy days!
