The basement of the goods warehouse, seen from under the bomb hole. This was always a vehicle store. It also included the sack depot for the Newcastle District, which closed when BR withdrew from sack hire on 1 July1963. Access to the basement was via narrow stairs. Road vehicles approached through a tunnel under New Bridge Street, which was linked to the street by a roadway.
