Hmm.  Roll Eyes

'Her indoors' (my wife) would no doubt opt for Whitechapel Road - she loves all those TV▸ (Thames Valley, or TeleVision, depending on context) shock thrillers related to the Ripper murders.

I would go for Marlborough Street (the main bus station): I used to have to deliver there, and it was a nightmare, trying to find somewhere to (legally) park my van.

My reference relates specifically to Bristol, by the way.  Wink

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
