Yes, this really is High Street and is also known as 'The Narrows'. It is a rather quaint, steep and narrow pedestrianised lane running from the clock tower below to Castle Street above.
There are a number of small shops along the lower part. The hill at the back is Panpunton Hill.

Russell Street runs from High Street up to and across one side of the old market place. The old market place, no longer used as a market, has a number of old narrow streets round about.

The Old House is deemed to be the oldest house in Knighton. It was built in the 14th century using Cruck frame construction but was then re-fronted in the 17th century.
This is to be found on the south side of Broad Street next to the clock tower in a small, narrow courtyard.

Molly's Cottage in Russell Street was built during the 15th century as a hall house then re-fronted and extended in the 17th century.
There are few timber-framed buildings in Knighton possibly because the town has been burned down twice in its history but this cottage must have survived.

This church seems to date back to at least the 11th century, with the tower being mostly 14th century, the church then being rebuilt in the 18th century and again modified in the 19th century.
