Thanks for this photo.
I had not realised that the railway lines, which went across the road, had disappeared by then!
There were stories in the 60's of explorers, with permission, coming out of the mine using a tub, and hurtling across the road, hoping of course, no cars were actually on it at the same time!,
The tub, came to a halt where the parking space, used to be on the opposite side of the road.
