My parents house was built before development of the area. The original road was built on and another road built on the other side of the house, both the old and current street names are still valid postal streets (the old street name is still attached to the house on the end). The old street name is commonly used to refer to the terrace of houses.
My parents still have legal right of access (recorded on the deeds) across the back gardens of the houses that were built on top of the old road.
- jpsouth 3y agoI love the old rights of access, I really do, war houses in the UK were built for a vastly different way of living with your neighbours. I live in a terrace, and four of us share a ginnel that my house sits over, splitting the terrace into a 2/2 on the ground, and fully attached 4 above. My ‘ground attached’ neighbour is great, shares it no problem and has full access to my garden. The neighbour on the other side of the ginnel has blocked access for her ‘ground attached’ neighbour by building a greenhouse infront of the gate, so she must store her bins on the street rather than her back garden and be deprived of the ability to wash her car, get a window cleaner for her rear windows etc.
