A possible explanation occurs. The factories surrounding the site were originally buit by Bulloughs as metal foundries. Casting requires sand and iron,which would have to be delivered in bulk to the site on a regular basis. Looking at the the last two photographs can you see these bays filled with Sand and Iron which would be driven in to the site through the gate in pictures 1 and 2 and tipped into the bays below.

You can see HBC doing much the same thing with road salt, lower down on Brown Street.
