Organiser Luke Jerram told the BBC: "We've got about 300 or 400 hay bales all in a line. It's an extraordinary site.
"If you look at photographs in the 1900s you see these beautiful empty streets with all the kids playing out.
"It's an extraordinary thing and all that has been taken away. I'm happy to take over a street, and this slide is an architectural intervention really."
