At the northern end of the platform, next to the bridge carrying Avenue Road over the lines, there is this doorway. It leads to a passageway (nicknamed "The Worm") under the road and into the basement of what was the Imperial Hotel - built in Victorian times by the railway company. It allowed luggage (and perhaps visitors) an easy route between the station and hotel. The building is now a public school for girls, Malvern St. James, so the worm is no longer in use.
