ExTra-
I wouldn't be too worried, as long as you maintain the status quo of keeping the bins to one side of the passage, as has been the case for nearly 25 years on streetview.

Is that why the solicitor is asking the sellers to locate the conveyancing docs from 1934?
Yes.
If they can’t find it chances are your solicitor will recommend the sellers provide an insurance policy that covers the cost of sorting things out if there’s ever a disagreement over the passage in the future.
This is really normal toing and froing with conveyances on older houses, there are always loose ends that you have to take a view on. Chat it over with your solicitor but likely nothing to worry about.

They’ll be with the conveyance docs your solicitor has. Or should be…
Yes. What’s been on the ground for a while usually takes precedence over plans as plans (esp those drawn In the 30s) are often inaccurate and things change. For example if that rear lane has been closed off as Kurai suggests and can be shown to have been like that for [I think] 12 years you’re not going to have much luck trying to reinstate the use because of a document from 90 years ago.
