Jo anne the section of wall in your pic formed part of a childrens play area known locally as "the clinic park" if memory serves me right it had 4 swings on a long frame a rocking horse for multiple riders, a rocket shaped climbing frame and a slide all in the good old pre health and safey era. The play area was several feet below road level and the little bit of wall you see in your picture actually had iron railings running along it. The clinic park was dismantled and filled in when they built the access road to the estate which now occupies the old waggon works site.
As for kids coming out of the little clinic with purple heads Staffbullterrier it was a treatment for nits my old son. Legend had it that school caretakers carried out this treatment in school cellars if you had nits.
