I think that he probably meant that he was about 5ft tall etc...
We call it a "kerb" and it's the brick or stone border between the
street and the pavement. Sorry haven't a copy of Abbey Road at the
moment.
I have mentioned before that my OM4 dropped from my nerveless fingers
onto the cobbles of a street in Trier in 1991. The sickening thud
heralded nothing worse than a small deformity in the baseplate. The
lens was fine ...

Yeah, it does look wrong. Maybe it's a Brit thing. Is a "curb",
about the same height as the bonnet of a lorry? Is the object on
the back cover of the Beatles' 'ABBEY ROAD' (called a "stone wall" in
the USA) known as a "curb" over there?
All the best,
