While walking towards the Waldram Park Road bridge this afternoon I was surprised and delighted to see this:


It is between the bridge and the derelict site of Bax Sash Willy's.

Workmen were repairing a crack in the bridge and had cleared this area. They had obviously taken care when removing spoil from the steps and were rather proud of what they had discovered. They told me the intended to leave it as it was.

The steps were probably built in the 1880s as a short-cut to the station.
