The alley trough the gate

This area of the old city has a lot of this alley`s behind the, and as a entrance, of the houses . Often the gates are done as there was a path and the then new houses are build. There is a Law of passing trough in Holland . This means if there is a path being use it have to keep/retain even when you build houses . So they make gates This path leads to last two pic.s .
I`m told it comes from the farmers . They go to the church at the shortest way from the farmhouse to the church.

Great perspective and this could be in England. I guess the farmers are always busy men!

Yes, I guess the church has got the power to make sure these gates continue even when new homes are build. great information to these last three pictures.
