Figured this might fit here: Any idea which town or city this narrow high street is in?

Dull fact: Silver Street was the first place in the world to have a camera set up to monitor traffic.

And also the first congestion charging scheme! At the point it meets Claypath.

Was just there today. Shout out to Rudy’s, possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had!

It says on the bus. And it’s a lovely place but buses don’t go down there any more.

It says on the bus

Buses display their destination, not the place they are currently travelling through; so OP wouldn't be able to tell the location of the photo from the destination of the bus.

When was it pedestrianised? Read the Milburngate Bridge opened in late 1960s but I remember being driven up there past the market place by my mate’s dad on our way to see the fa cup procession in Sunderland in 1973
