Its intriguing as I'm not sure where that road would go, a link to Smithy Lane perhaps but the railway has been there a lot longer I'd assume so it must have gone around or over it
Looking on Google Maps, it looks like it was part of the original course of Lamesley Road.
Which ties in with what I was saying about connecting on to Chowdene.
Cheers for the pit link. Will have a good rake through that!
