This staircase is called "Jacobs Ladder" (like the story from the Bible), we traversed it a lot (up and down) this week while having a little holiday in Falmouth, Cornwall with the family. It's around 80 steps in all and I can imagine when icy or wet is absolutely lethal, as well as great for getting your heart pumping at the end of the evening! The stairs link one of the main squares in the town, called "The Moor" with the residential streets up the hill and provides a quick way of getting down to the shops, pubs and restaurants in the square and the surrounding roads. The house we were staying in was only 50 metres from the top of the "ladder" and, although there were many routes down to the town, of varying degrees of difficulty, was probably the fastest (and most energetic!)
