Hmm.  Undecided

Is it:

a) Watchet  (photo taken from the west) - a long shot, in more ways than one; or

b) somewhere between Bishops Lydeard and Norton Fitzwarren (an even longer shot??)

(At least it's not Taunton!  Grin )

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.

That looks awfully like an anagram of Crowcombe Heathfield...

Although I'd never have guessed that from the photo. No doubt in my mind from the outset that the photo was taken on the WSR, I just really had no idea where.

No worries, relex109: mine, too, tend to go very quickly!  Where's this, for example?
