Been given this as my final drop on Monday.
Its down this tiny street and I’m sure as hell not going to make that turn…
I’m not one to turn jobs down but this seems somewhat ambitious for a full size tri-axle trailer. My only guess is to try and reverse off the road and block the road for a bit while they tip it.
Looks doable to me, as long as you approach from the right direction
Done it.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Drive in and offload in the yard then turn yourself round in there. Can’t be 100% with these pics but it looks possible.

Looking at Maps I should be able to approach on my good side, providing no one has parked like a spanner.
Have you got the right Felstead Road? There are a fair few up and down the country.
If the parked cars are out the way then it should be doable, though its difficult to tell from pics alone what space we’re talking about.
If you can get the company phone number and speak to them during the day (with an eta), they might have a decent relationship with the neighbours who facilitate the odd lorry delivery by parking suitably, you have nothing to lose by phoning, if you can’t fit then they’ll either have to send a fork lift down the lane or some lads with sack/wheelbarrows, or tranferring the load onto one of their own vehicles at a suitable spot you can access.

BS10 5SQ is the postcode I have.
Looks like it should be do able, if in doubt reverse in. Worst case is they bring a forklift out to the road.
Beware that maps sometimes makes things look worse than they are, I’ve looked at a few places before and thought there would be no chance only to get there and have more than enough room.
A.
Deffo tight. Depends on how much traffic is parked in the road I guess. A shorter trailer or rigid would obviously be better. But without actually being there to look it’s hard to say it’s not possible but it doesn’t look like there is enough room in the yard to turn around so require reversing in. Again without knowing how wide the road is again difficult to say. Has anyone asked if they have had artics in there before? I would at least go there and stop as near to it as possible and go for a walk and check it out to see if it is doable or not before attempting it. Pictures and Google maps is OK but it doesn’t really give enough of a perspective to make a decision in my opinion.
You’ve got to hit at least 1 car, good luck 
You do have the option of as long as the entrance way is clear which is lined to keep it clear, to go onto pavement on left to swing it round giving you maximum potential for turning into it. Might even have room to reverse round the side of the building to come back out forwards. And as always what are you delivering is it palletised do they have a forklift and come to unload you on the road etc?
We get bigger than that in ere every day drive.
I’m thinking its a regular drop, for your company, must be another driver who has done it.
I wouldn’t fancy it to be perfectly honest. Even if you get in, you could end up getting blocked in if anyone parks their car within that access area whilst your offloading. I would definitely block the road and get them to offload you there.

NO
Don`t do it. They will make you pay 1/2 of the insurance excess!!!

Don’t think it’s doable that way. Using Google Earth’s “ruler” tool gives a maximum 14 metres across the yard from the front of the building to the wall where those 5 cars are parked. I can’t see any way of turning it around.
I don’t know if its a regular drop as we only have a few rigids that do long distance. Its part of our packaging contract but I rarely do that. Its only 2 pallets but they are very big pallets and I have no tail lift. My only guess as to why its on me is because they want me to reload from Avonmouth, must likely a full load too.

Go for it what could possibly go wrong.Also remembering to tell all the onlookers with their phone cameras at the ready watch this on the way in and out again. 
What would worry me looking at that picture is that there are no tyre marks on the road,if Artics are regularly in and out there would be tyre marks from screwing it round to get in/out.
If you look on google maps there is a rigid in the and it looks as though it has just enough room to turn round because of how the gate in angled,also about 100m past the entrance it’s a dead end with concrete bollards so you have to come out the way you go in to that road so a kerbside delivery means you’ll have to reverse all the way back out and reverse into live traffic.

Theres your main problem right there. The road looks ok but all it takes is some ■■■■■■■■ parking their car in the wrong bit and youre snookered
