I assumed the ladders were a temporary thing but they're on street view too.

They're ladders for the gas lamp lighters, as shown in this video:

It's a nice link between the tags. Perhaps @Rumball works in that team? :)

Thanks for that:) I hadn't seen that video before. I think I read about it in a book called secret London.
I've been meaning to hang around the ladder and see the guy work.
