The red brick wall separates two gardens behind rows of Victorian terraces in Yeovil. Although difficult to see there is a snicket that runs along the wall on the left hand side. The gardens on the left have "reclaimed" the snicket. Until last year there were gates in every garden to allow access along the snicket. Now many gates have been removed and sheds placed over the line of the snicket. This reclamation starts at the end of the snicket furthest from the road and slowly works its way along. Approximately half of the length of the snicket has been reclaimed.
