Do you have a celler? It wasn't uncommon in Victorian terraced houses to have a coal chute on the front path leading to a coal cellar.
If this is the case I'd advise not putting anything too heavy on the path, say a ton bag from a builder's merchants. The structure isn't that strong and the ton bag is likely to make its own shortcut into the cellar.

Looking at other streets there are quite a few the same so it looks like an en masse job, I don't think it was Thames water as our pipes to the house were shit original ones I replaced to get better water pressure and less lead poisoning and it did nothing.
What do you think they were like originally? I can't imagine they hard a border? I know the fences were taken in the war but that should not have effected things?
