@NoBoDe - I know - in the present - and that's from the 60s onward that I have become aware - there are building regulations in Europe, which specify the exact height and width of a step on a staircase - there - in Europe - are older staircases on public buildings which are even lower and wider - but it may have been to accommodate women's long and uncomfortable clothes.
Here in this 'modern' village north of Perth there are steps out in public gardens, one particular set near a car park, which are absolute death traps. Such steps were on the house I bought (and am living in now - only 3 of them out the front leading onto the porch); they were of differing heights - it was the first thing I had fixed - because someone nearly had a bad accident whilst walking backwards (talking to me while descending) and I wonder why we have so many architects?- What do they learn?
