Check the 1970 map herehttp://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.htmlMost likely it was this access road/car park and then they drove over the Northern street bridge

I think any tunnel leading from the door Phil pictured will have been buried in the foundation for the new tower. I've a feeling you could see some evidence when they were digging the foundations.As for the entrance to the Northern Street tunnel I always believed it to be in the compound on the other side of Whitehall road, most of which is now gone, so the tunnel may well be sealed at that end.I've been trying for ages to work out where it goes at the end of Queen street to get to the substation and wonder whether it's been filled in places there too.
