4.  Taunton.  I'm not going to fall for that one again.  CfN  ;) :D ;D

You beat me to it Chris.. I was going to say Taunton too  ::) ;D

Now - are you sure about number 4?

4. Correct. I have said in the past that I wouldn't include pictures of that station, but in my defence I didn't actually snap it!

And a warm welcome to the Coffee Shop robert.nash  ;D

Perfectly sure, thank you, robert.nash - and a warm welcome to the Coffee Shop forum!

CfN.  :D

Many thanks for the welcome.

Any thoughts on Number 3 yet? My original thought was that I wouldn't want to leave the station via that door in a hurry (which did look perfectly possible when we saw the inside of it).

Is 5 the portishead marina?  In which case you weren't far from my pad

Sorry FallenAngel - not Portishead I'm afraid

Sorry FA, not Porer'sed mariner.

I'll guess that harbour place thingy in bristol then

Sorry again, it ain't be Brizzle neever.  ;)

An addendum to Number 3. At the same location just round the corner from the door with the mahoosive doorstep was this stairway to nowhere.....

I am fairly sure that No.5 is Sutton Harbour in Plymouth.

Hi BB - I think that counts as close enough for number 5.

Correct B_B. Plymouth's Barbican is a perfect place to sit and people watch of a summer's evening.

...and No.2 looks remarkably like the footbridge immediately south of Dawlish Warren station.

Yes indeed B_B

I was going to answer 5, but I was beaten to the post. 3 looks like Dawlish to me.

spot on there d_m

So in summary we have

1 __________________
2 Dawlish Warren
3 Dawlish
4 Taunton
5 Plymouth Harbour

Any suggestions on number 1?

Might help if you think about the round trip we took from number 4

In picture No.1 the reddish-brown masonry is from the 'Exeter Volcanic Traps' and is a very common local building material. Given your route and the nature of the structure I am going to suggest that this is street level at Exeter St.Thomas.

Afraid you're going to have to think again B_B - it's not Exeter.

Excellent analysis of the type of stone used in picture 1 B_B. I'm no expert in geology but I'd guess that the colour of the stone is down to volcanic conditions rather than atmospheric conditions....

After a little more thought, and investigation, I am absolutely certain that I have cracked this one! - I believe this is one of the entrance doors to the Brunel Atmospheric Railway Pumping House at Starcross.

BTW the colour of the building stone is largely due to a very high iron content.

He shoots....... he scores! No. 1 Correct.

However.....my next pic quiz will have to include the rule of 1 guess per person. At least for the first 24 hours. Give everyone a chance to guess.  ;)
