Today this alleyway appears a normal back ally to the back of houses, but interestingly the alleyway used to operate as an entrance for local coal deliveries, as coal would be delivered to houses beofre the age of central heating.
The YouTube video is not specifically on the coal delivery of the Charminster area, but it shows the days before central heating was invented and the delivery system that was put in place to get the coal to every home.
This point of interest is part of the tour: Memories of Charminster
