Between the rear of houses on Brookfield Avenue (on the left) and Beechwood Avenue (on the right). This back passage, like many others in the area, is subject to a Gating Order which prevents the public using the right of way. Gating orders are supposed to only be applied where there is persistant crime or anti-social behaviour related to the existence of the right of way. Usually the order is enforced by the erection of a large, un-climable security gate.
