The subway links Salt Hill Park and Baylis Road under the former Great Western Railway's main line. There are actually two subways here. The far one is the earlier and still carries the main line. The nearer one was built to accommodate a head shunt for the sidings serving Image The trackwork has however long since been removed from this. However the original, and still continuing function, of this hole through the railway embankment was to allow the passage of Salt Hill Stream, which is now culverted itself under the subway.
