The residential area of Huntingtower Road lies behind the photographer. This is a view into the shorter - and perhaps slightly less claustrophobic - of the two subways beneath the station's railway tracks, looking towards the horseshoe-shaped entrance to the subway nearest to the town centre. The more distant tunnel is approximately 100 metres long and 6' 6" inch high and it provides users with access to Station Road. Graphics and art & design students from Grantham College created the series of pictures lining the nearest subway, as part of a joint initiative between Grantham College, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and South Kesteven District Council. A plot of railway company land on the right of this path, and parallel with it, was where the Grantham Railway Guild once had its extensive club premises. The former Huntingtower Road County Primary School buildings (since replaced by The Huntingtower Community Academy) and former Springfield County Secondary School site - closed in August 1964 - were both located on this side of the tracks.
