Thru' The Garden Gate

A lot of planning & execution went in at one time to this driveway, to solve the problem of the side-access to the back garden.  It is an astonishingly daring solution the like of which I have never seen before.
There is an obvious drawback, in that while a car is parked on the precipitous spaces set aside for it's wheels, the access to the garden gate is totally blocked, or at least extremely inconvenient to anyone taller than a cat.
The current occupiers have gone round this by parking on the street rather than using it, although they have at least kept preserved this truly magnificent example of folk-suburban architecture.

  1. I can't quite work it out. Is that the house to the left of the steps, and the road in front?

  2. Yes! Amazing as it seems, the intention must've been for the car driver to drive out above the steps, covering them.

  3. Blimey! And is that a straight drop down into the back garden, or is the gate built into a wall?

  4. As far as I could see, the 2 car track things form walls in the garden, with the gate in between them. It probably all looks very nice, from the garden.
