The bottom two were for the coal staithes, loading them into barges. The top one is just a really old pathway, comes out at the SoL car park.

There was conveyor belts, and a winding road that traffic could get down if needed. Bear in mind I was only a nipper so memories are hazy, and it was a sealed off site (as most of the riverside was back then from Pallion downwards).
