Back to the weighing machine sketch... I wonder if that rectangular patch of concrete was the filled-in "pit" for the underside of the scales ?
It's visible in both the photos in more or less the place as indicated on the map.

Very observant Pinz, also a nice set of cobbles to drive in on, a break in the pavement i think.

Despite Bert's cynicism it was quite fun! (Bert you are entitled mate!) I found that very interesting.

If it's the place I'm thinking of I'm sure it was once the weighbridge cafe (late 70's early 80's)
If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.

some older states men like myself, will remember that all entrances to streets/roads/passageways and so forth where cobble stones as it aided the horse or horses that pulled the coal/milk carts to have a sure footing on starting and stopping.

SETS is correct & most of them are still there under all that tar & gravel chippings they put down then sweep up. Probably a few tramlines as well!
