I had passed this small piece of brickwork several times without giving it any attention, before a local resident told me he could remember as a boy using a pedestrian subway under the railway line here. He presumed the brickwork is the top of the northern portal of the filled-in subway. The handrail in the foreground is on a more recent access ramp to the station platform. The photo is taken from rail level. In idea of what it might have looked like can be got from comparing one 3km further east on the same line: Image
