Notes left by the door.
A few of the notes readers have left us after walking a lane of their own.
In their own words.
"I tried the bench test on my own street and found a bakery I'd walked past for three years. I'm a regular now."
"The Night Letter arrives just as I'm heading home. It always makes me take the long way."
"I followed the queue on a trip and found the best noodles of my life down a lane with no name."
The stories readers mention.
The doors readers have walked through most.
No. 2The bench test
Sit for ten minutes and let the street tell you its story.
No. 4Follow the queue
The best stall is rarely the one with the biggest sign.
No. 9The last light on the cobbles
A love letter to the lamps that keep old streets company.
No. 3Reading a lane
Mopeds, washing lines and window boxes: the clues to who lives there.
