It appears to be time for further reflection of this whole issue.

I've re-studied the photograph as closely as possible. A few minor (oops, a Pun?) details do stand out, such as the upper steepness of the lane leading towards Hassock Lane, but this could have obviously altered over time. Also, the right-hand support of the Headstock itself.

The high-up angle/view of the camera could also be explained for Woodside Colliery IF our intrepid photographer was used to shinnying up trees. I.E. the top of the tree in the foreground, in front of the camera.

The lane running down the left-side of the site, also appears to be the one leading to the 'Dog Kennel' area, including the Coppice Plant works behind it. Halfway down that lane, on the right, should be the track through the trees leading directly to Shipley Pond.
