I moved to England from Hong Kong recently. I found that it is common to see these holes (tiny doorway arch looking thing) in front of houses. What are they?

Oh, interesting. Is there a name for this?
I've heard there are tiny sculptures made for scraping mud off shoes. Didn't know it can be built into the entrance.
Yep, "boot-scraper" 😀
Hi OP, if you’re happy with the answers you’ve got here, could you edit your post to add [SOLVED] to the end of the title? Many thanks!
Done :)
