Easthouses Extension Pit

The B6482 underpass near the site of Easthouses pit on 10 September 2020, exactly one year on from my first visit, at which time the route had been fenced off. Unfettered access on this occasion allowed the opportunity to recreate the Douglas Blades photograph taken almost 50 years earlier (see 72293) shortly after the lifting of the Easthouses Tramway. View is south, with the bridge that carried Mayfield Road now infilled along with the old tramway cutting beyond.
