Ladder streets are a series of streets from Central or Sheung Wan to the Mid-levels on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The series starts from Queen's Road Central, through Hollywood Road and a few other cross streets, and ends at Caine Road at the Mid-levels. Other ladder streets exist in Hong Kong outside of the immediate mid-levels area, such as Sands Street in Kennedy Town.
Note that there is indeed a street named Ladder Street, composed entirely of stone steps, in Sheung Wan.

““But, mother, I won’t be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.””
