another old photo has come to light

Can anyone identify the location of this level crossing please? The photo was taken about 40 years ago when I was living in Chesterfield so I don't think it will be far away from there. It looks so familiar but I just can't place the location any more.

EASY

Now if ~I can get my Aged brain working
It's on the Peak Rail network (LOL) and is at Darley Dale
The line with the buffer stop used to run across the road and there was a loop across the road

Well it's not now there's one the other side of the gates at the station now but it's not the same one seem to remember whilst at school some of the guys who now are in the Little Midland society in Chesterfield put in to buy it but someone broke in and stole the Frames so all they were left with was an empty building then 3 days after it was set on fire this was the early 80's I think
