I used to live up on the top of a 1 in 7 hill called High Haden Road in Cradley Heath - that was a killer when I came back from college or a walk round Haden Hill Park and it was great fun in the snow and ice. It isn't the steepest residential road but it felt like it back then!

There's a very steep road in the East Sussex village of Willingdon which takes you up onto the Sussex Downs.

I don'tknow about steepest but the rows of terraces in East Lancashire must be contenders.

In placessuch as Blackburn rows and rows of terraced houses were build on Penine hillsides to accomodate the mill workers n the 19th century.

Try the main street in Howarth, Yorkshire. Home of the Brontes, a cobbled street with fantastic little shops on each side, at the top you have the choice of a couple of olde worlde pubs or the Church lol
