The builders merchant on the right is set down in a cutting at the same level as the railway, so I'm guessing that it's on a former goods yard or engine shed or something. On the left of the picture it looks a bit of a mess where a second platform has been partly demolished. For how it looked when there were two platforms see this old view from 1961 Image The lamp post prominent in that picture by the station name board is still visible here.
