Unexpected finds

Cliftonwood is a hillside in Bristol that’s packed with multicoloured painted houses, hidden steps and winding alleyways. All these treasures make up for the fact that, whichever way you go, you’re faced with Everest-like slopes. Going out inevitably involves an up-hill. After a year living here, I’m pretty much reconciled to this. I know the shortcuts. Or, so I thought. Until about a month ago, when I found a new one. Tucked away on a hairpin bend, the top end starts at the profoundly named ‘Worlds End Lane’; the bottom begins in a block of flats on Jacob's Well roundabout, mosaic tiled hot air balloons the only sign that this is something more than a private entrance. The wending pathway turns into the ‘White Hart Steps’, passing ‘Worlds End House’ (built in 1650, and thought to be the oldest house in Clifton), the small ‘Cherry Garden’, and, rather strangely, a bus stop. Halfway up a hill, and nowhere near a road. That’d have to be quite a bendy, narrow bus to get up there. Does anyone know how this sign ended up perched in this odd location?
