How it's used
Locals almost exclusively refer to Pottinger Street by this nickname because of its iconic granite stone steps. It is a popular spot for wedding photography and film shoots due to its vintage aesthetic. While it is a formal street name on maps, using the English name in conversation can sound slightly detached or touristy.
