I think I really should know the answer to 10 - but I just don't.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

Sorry Smokey. Wrong and sort of wrong! 9 isn't T**nt*n, and whilst 10 is outside a Police Station I was looking for an answer that was a little more specific re: the location of the blue lamp. Clues?

9. Postbox next to a gateline.

10. Blue lamp above a BTP▸ (British Transport Police) Police Station on a station!

9 could be Temple Meads - there's a post box just inside the gateline in a red-brick wall on platform 3 at least.

Scratch that, Temple Meads looks much tidier and doesn't have the fence on the left!

Suggest you un-scratch, blakey! That's not a fence, it's a row of cabling. I'll give you half a point for being correct initially, before you scratched your answer.

10.  I've gone away and considered it, and I now think it's Exeter St Davids.  Tongue Embarrassed Lips sealed
