This is the southern mouth of a short tunnel which used to take a single-line branch railway underneath the A56 to a sandstone quarry on the north side. Since this photograph was taken, a protective grill has been placed across the mouth to keep out children, (the tunnel was nearly always waterlogged anyway).
