Nottingham City Centre has numerous narrow streets. Here's Trustwell Yard. It links Castle Gate and Hounds Gate. Just wide enough for possibly two people side by side. Its about 10 minutes walk from the city center.
There must have been a reason why it's so narrow. Perhaps because it's close to Nottingham Castle, its origins lay there?
Here's some information about Hounds Gate:

It is now owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway (EMR) and features in the current EMR Telly ads with Miles the puppet featuring heavily.
