The only reminder of a railway coal yard that once existed on this site. The railway line is out of the picture to the right, a balustrade on Holland Road bridge is just visible. The arches were originally used to stable the horses of the yard but now are boarded up. The coal yard lasted until the early 1970s and the area is now an industrial estate and home to a DIY, bathroom and carpet warehouse.
