No ... no red brick in the viaduct there. All local stone.  Undecided

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.

It seems Tufty 'borrowed' it to illustrate a point. Fair usage, so I'll hold back on billing him.  Tongue Grin
