The steps offer direct pedestrian access from the housing estates of Laurelbank and Lyninghills to the West High Street. As children, in winter, we used to sledge down the grassy slope, which in those days was part of a field and much longer. The important things was to get through the gate in the wall; failure to get through the gap tended to result in very sore heads or feet, depending on how you used your sledge.
