This is a house called Bonnington Brae, with a small cottage adjoining, recorded from the early 19th century and demolished around 1930 when two blocks of tenements were built on the site. The 1908 OS map shows the house as "Manse" with a church built just to the east of it. John Mackenzie JUNNER, SSC, lived there for a few years until he died in 1863.

The pillars of this substantial bridge (but not the deck) are still in place on what is now a cycle path. I am guessing that it was for transporting rain from the fields on one side of the rails (now allotments) to the flour mill on the other side?

The cut-off remains of the steel ends of this (and the other nearby footbridge) over the old railway are still in place and easily accessible from the now-cycle path

Catch points here and at an equal distance the other side of the crossing to derail a train approaching the junction without the 'right of way'. These would interlocked with the signals for both lines.

Relatively rare rail crossing at grade

Even more rear for what appears to have been a double track line reduced to a single track at the crossing... or is just chance that a siding ends on both sides.

Actually, replying to Maurice's observation, contemporary OS maps indicate double track west of the crossing and single over the crossing and to the east, with a siding terminating as in the photo.

There cannot have been too many industries that had separate private sidings connected to two railway companies, one on each side of the site.
