'Heart Attack Hill': How Manchester city centre's steepest street has become 'Mecca for fitness fanatics' and a trucker's nightmare
29.01.2022 - 11:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Approaching it from the top, it appears to be a road into the abyss.
From the bottom, a gruelling ascent not for the faint-hearted.
In a city where hills are rare, the sloping and cobbled Jutland Street is an intriguing anomaly.
Tucked away in the shadow of Piccadilly Station, it comes as a surprise to those who stumble across Manchester city centre's steepest street for the first time.

A gathering place for fitness fanatics, a nightmare for truck drivers and the subject of a Lowry painting, the 33 per cent gradient road is a part of the city's rich heritage.
Mark Whalley lives in Wharf Close, half way up Jutland Street, and has his own nickname for the slope - "Heart Attack Hill".
"You want to see it just after work is out," said the 70-year-old.
"You see them all huffing up the hill.
"Loads of people use it for running training because there aren't many hills round here."
Mr Whalley moved into his apartment 15 years ago, and has witnessed the city's centre rapid transformation firsthand.
But while skyscrapers have shot up all around his home, the street outside has not changed much.
Yet the slope has proved a constant source of entertainment.
Last year, Jutland Street had to be closed after part of the road collapsed. The cavity was believed to have been caused by a water leak.
At the time, residents who lived nearby said they believed the road surface had been weakened by heavy vehicles using it as a cut-through between Store Street and Ducie Street.
Meanwhile, a car transporter got stuck after taking on the big hill in 2015.
The vehicle ground to a halt after the bottom of the truck became wedged on the brow of the hill.
