    As always, the charging speeds are only part of the story. The accessibility of the bays, space to manoeuvre and how easy it is to reach the cables and payment terminals is what's important.

    Unlike the rest of the street, the bays are set on cobbles, which may make the terrain difficult for some, particularly if it has been raining.

    I travelled to this place by walk or wheel

    There are six wide EV charging bays at this site. The first four terminals are positioned in front of the bays, so while the cables are within reach from a seated position, reversing in would be a challenge if using my wheelchair, which is stored in the boot. On the plus side, I could reach the card reader from my chair, which is better than at a lot of other sites. It's not perfect, though, as the two bollards in front of the terminals make things a little awkward. There are several charging options here, with two 175 kW CCS connectors, four 50 kW CHAdeMO connectors, four 50 kW CCS connectors and four 38 kW Type 2 connectors across six terminals.

    Accessible facilities: Electric vehicle charging, Dedicated on-site parking
