The dark arches are a network of brick arches, supporting Leeds railway station.
They were built along with the station in the 1860s,
18 million bricks were used during their construction.
The arches are part of the Granry Wharf development, with alot of car parking.

main access from/to neville Street

I think I've only ever been to leeds a couple of times - first time was as a boy with my family I remember these arches from back then (well looking in from the exterior anyway) and i always wondered if they were "called" anything or if they were anything other than channels for water etc, thanks for posting this!
 
Great photos there mate. I had an hour to kill in Leeds a while back and had a mooch down here, but without tripod, its a really interesting place, and while I was there there was a rather pervy geezer taking photographs of a model on the bridge in your first photo, everyone was just passing by as if it were the norm.....well thats Leeds for you!

Good explore mate.
 
I've stayed at the Queens hotel, the car park is in tunnels underneath just like the photos.
