My story takes place in the early 1920s. A woman travels to an estate which has a wrought iron gate at the end of it's (long) driveway. The estate is owned by an extremely wealthy man.
How would a gate like this be opened? Would there have been any automatic openers at that time (hydraulic, electric)? Would there have been a man whose job it was to wait and open the gate for people? Would the driver in the car get out to open the gate?
I've tried to search for this on Google but I'm not getting anything useful...could be that I'm just using the wrong search phrases.
