Treacle Mine Road is one of the main thoroughfares of Morpork, extending Widdershins from the foot of the Misbegot Bridge to Easy Street, where it becomes Cheap Street. It defines the rimward boundary of the greater Shades quarter; at its back, the city core. Treacle Mine Road was once exactly that: the treacle mine was a major industry until it was displaced by the lower-cost wells of Quirm. It lent its name to the short-lived People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road during the Glorious Revolution, when it was the front line of the rebel area.

Toward the Misbegot Bridge end is the hall of the Seamstresses' Guild at Sheer Street, then the newly-rebuilt Treacle Mine Road Watch House at Cable Street, long home to Samuel Vimes but burned by a dragon in Guards! Guards!.
