This hole in the wall leads to the Victoria Tunnel, an old wagonway tunnel which ran under Central Newcastle down to the wharves on the Ouseburn. Subsequently the tunnel has been used as a mushroom farm, and as a World War II air raid shelter. Now a modest visitor attraction within the Ouseburn valley regeneration area.
