Nice one! I remember slowly grinding down that track as a passenger on a steam-hauled train in June 1963 to catch the Sarnia to St Peter Port in Guernsey. I think that’s a Birmingham Sulzer heading the train in your pic.
Not quite a street scene, but of interest on here nonetheless. I’ve just found this computer generated trip following the new lower Thames crossing from Kent into Essex. Certainly got my brain going, trying to match the locations. A good watch!
From an access point of view , the designers of these places didn’t lose much sleep when it came to getting the stuff in or out of the place did they ?
H J Heinz at Kitt Green weren’t that much different either . I suppose it may have been down to the fact that they were U.S. owned , and southpaw drive oriented, that the loading bays were set up to be accessed by backing in on the blind side .

They still design buildings for LHD we go to Veolia at Leeds with a blind reverse and Ferrybridge where they had to rearrange entry points after realising what they had done
