Hi John,
The Hadley Wood Association has a gallery on their website. One of the pictures is interesting as it is a view taken from around the area of the signal box looking north that shows the head shunt still in place. The caption states that it is a 1950s picture and that coal was still being delivered at that date. I can't vouch for exactly when the picture was taken or if the sidings by the station are still in place or being used (but why keep the head shunt for all that time if they're not?) but the V2 is carrying a BR smoke box number plate.
You'll have to scroll through the images (some nice pictures, mostly non-railway related) but the gallery can be found here: http://www.hadleywood.org.uk/gallery.html
