Default Nunhead station

Nunhead station only has one entry/exit point, on Gibbon Road.
However, when getting off at Nunhead yesterday, I noticed that there
seems to be another, blocked, entry/exit point at the western end of
the platform, which presumably exited onto Evelina Road. Just
wondered (a) was there ever a second entrance; (b) if so, did it come
out on to Evelina Road; (c) when was it shut; (d) why was it shut? An
Evelina Road entrance would have been much closer to the centre of
Nunhead (i.e. Nunhead Green). Nunhead Station is virtually never
staffed, nor is it gated, so having a second entry/exit wouldn't have
increased staff costs.

I'd always assumed this space was the remains of a bay platform? The old
sidings space on the down side are still there.
