What looks like a railway embankment is in fact the line above the Clayton tunnel, a 1000 yard tunnel on the former Bradford to Queensbury line. You can just see in the middle of the photo the cap of a ventilation shaft. The tunnel is now closed off but photos available elsewhere on the internet show that it is not infilled. See Image for the line of the tunnel the other side of the road.
