Nobody has even guessed it yet, but number 7 is the one that really intrigues me ...  Roll Eyes

I'm surprised that one didn't go early ... and it's now the only one left.



Astounded this one's still not even had a nibble, as it's pointing towards a station that's most definitely GWR▸ (Great Western Railway).  Photo's my own, and I've been past it four times in the last 18 months; picture taken on my most recent visit last month.

OK I'll give it a shot.  Only place I've seen stonework like that is St.Austell.

You're warm ... but not St. Austell.  "In the correct stonework area" I would suspect, though I can't be sure as I haven't been that far west for years!

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Saltash has its fair share of crumbling stonework, too.  Wink Cheesy Grin
