I would have put these in the "Lighter Side" except I wanted to give a slight hint on what I suspect are quite tricky pictures.

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.

3 is Station Road, Holt.

I must admit that I needed to do quite a bit of Googling/cheating to find this Tongue

Yes indeed - No. 3 is Station Road, Holt.  That was a tough 'un too. 

Holt was the junction where the line from Trowbridge to Chippenham (still part of the TransWilts) diverged from the line to Devizes and Patney and Chirton.  The station was named "Holt", but was well outside the village down the sleepy road shown in this picture.   The station site is now private.  I expect Arlett's have a branch / office in Melksham  Wink
