erm in the days when they had terraced houses back to back terraced houses erm well anywhere in the country i guess but but where i come from it was fine for the people who lived with their doors on the on the road but the people who lived at the other side of the block they couldn't get from the road so every so often down the down the terrace they had a little alley way  an entry i think you'd probably call it in scotland, don't they?
