Thanks for the replies, good reading I actually meant all the little green hatches along the top not the black brick cosmetics.

They are there to save on bricks.

Got me looking now, google maps, arches with blue roller shutters on furnival rd, and then there's the bridge with "box fill" store in that set of arches, but where are the green hatches, that's mentioned, in first post?

In the same vein as when they hear the ice cream van chime, it means he's run out....? 😉

They are on the Saville Street link from Derek Dooley Way.

On Derek Dooley Way above the black bricked arches, there's about 20 odd of them.

And don't forget the old railway tunnel that is still in situ somewhere back behind those brick arches that leads down towards the Tesco car park.
I don't believe that the doors are related to that but the tunnel certainly is still there.

At the top, above the arches.

I've only just noticed that they seem to have cleared all the bushes. trees and weeds above the arches and doors, does anyone have a clue why ?
Surely it's too steep to build on with the old tunnel below.

Are you referring to the 'Fiery Jack' tunnel that ran between Bridgehouse goods depot and the Wicker goods depot that ran under Spital Hill ? The tunnel is bricked up only at Wicker (Tesco) end, the other end at Brunswick Road has some sort of impromtu/makshift fence that seems vunerable to trespass.
