1.  Thornton Abbey.  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.

Just number 3 to go. I figured this one might be the toughest. As the majority have been answered, the floor is now open. I had another idea for the clue:



 Cheesy

Also, I realised after using the 'sea' image for number 7 how much the crashing wave looks like a West Highland Terrier looking at the camera poking its tongue out:
