See Image Part of the same site (just out of picture to the right), looking through a palisade fence at what seems to be two narrow gauge railway sidings. They are visible in the lower part of the previous photograph. Not mentioned in the otherwise comprehensive “Johnson’s [railway] Atlas and Gazetteer”. 100 years ago this part of Duncrue Street was used by several businesses connected with the timber trade. At a guess (and I might be completely wrong) it’s possible that they were part of an internal horse-drawn tramway.
