This stairwell in back was very steep and narrow.

tis was very tipical to houses built in the 1800`s and 1900`s this was rpobably part of the house and was used by the children due to the fact that the houses were built with space in mind for the older adults with little regards to children so the stairways and hall ways in this part must be very small to a person used to wide hallways......

Also used as backways for the servants.

More than likely, that was the case. The back stairways are usually found close to the kitchen for obvious reasons.

Remember Bill, a layman who lived in and cleaned the mansion, who used to breath and whistle at the same time?
When he would get drunk he'd espouse the virtues of Thomas a` Kempis!
He used these stairs along with Mr. De Bella
and the guy that washed the pots Captain ??
