Easthouses Extension Pit
View south from Mayfield Road along Broadhust Road in 2019, with the site of Easthouses Extension Pit behind the camera. The route here was used by both the mineral line and the later tramway running in parallel. The mineral line had crossed Mayfield Road via a level crossing off to the right, while the tramway passed below the road to emerge in a cutting. No trace remains of the level crossing, while the tramway bridge and cutting have since been infilled. Note the point where the pavement stops partway down Broadhurst Road and a fenced path runs off to the right. This was the site of a footbridge built to span the tramway and give access to a public park just beyond the wooden fence.
