I think, having cycled along there to get to the sorting office (on
the right in that picture), that the chained off area is parking for
the businesses that back onto it.

The road to the left of the picture must be the one that leads back to
the High Street - but I normally cycle over the bridge behind the
camera to get the sorting office so I can't be sure.

Note that Firth Road is split in two and you *can't* drive from one
end of it to the other - you can, however, walk or cycle.

And that's because of the split in Firth Road I'd guess. :)
