It's not Lonsight

I can see the point of your question. Here's a very similar photo from 1963, definitely taken at Haymarket (I took it): https://www.flickr.com/photos/80572914@N06/7885539786/in/album-72157630995842368/

 

Obvious differences:

 

- track is not inset in older photo

- no frame over the right-hand track in older photo

- leftmost roof gable is significantly different

 

But the arrangement of the buildings and the rooflines (apart from the left-hand gable noted) are a match.
