This old road is so steep it has steps at the top where it joins the Wells Road. Before driving cars down from the houses the owners have had to clear some snow away and put down the salt/grit from the bright yellow box. The salt melts the snow whilst the grit helps the tyres from slipping on any remaining snow.
