Yes, it is ... i wondered how easy or hard that one would be as it's not taken from a spot where passengers usually go.

7 is Norwich. I think I'm right in saying there isn't a picture of Taunton in this collection  Grin

I'm afraid 7 isn't Norwich, but you're on the right lines. Your other statement is correct  Grin

Again, on the right line(s) ... but not the right station.

I can see the similarity (and it's a good guess seeing as I'm in Cambridge at the moment) but I'm afraid it isn't.   You *are* in the correct region and an ex-Great Eastern station.

Could have been .... but isn't.   Gosh - are there really so many stations in East Anglia that look like this?

There have been three close guesses ... one's less than a mile off, one just three stations out, and another very much on the right line.  Feel free to have further educated guesses, anyone!

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.
