Why do I continue to get the feeling i've seen something very similar to No 2. in Totnes...??!

Perhaps because you're getting a bit confused  Undecided  or perhaps because there is something similar there.   But it's not Totnes.

Completely random guess, only because I know there is/was a railway centre there - Southall?

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.

I think I should take stock. Radical hinting may be needed for number 2!
