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.

With the residential area of Huntingtower Road behand the photographer, this is a view of the shorter - and perhaps slightly less claustrophobic - subway, looking towards entrance to a second subway. The horse-shoe shaped tunnel ahead is approximately 100 metres long, 6' 6" inch high Station Road and it provides users with access to Station Road. Both of these passages are situated beneath the railway tracks. Graphics and art & design students from Grantham College created the series of pictures seen here as part of a joint initiative between Grantham College, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and South Kesteven District Council.

A pedestrian can be glimpsed ahead in the first of the two subways situated beneath the railway tracks. Ahead lies Station Road, whilst behind the photographer, the second less-claustrophic section of these passageways allows pedestrians access to and from Huntingtower Road. It can probably be safely assumed that these passageways were created at different times, when the tracks where increased in number. The present station was opened in August 1852.
