The old Green Park Station, Bath.
Logged
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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Sorry - I knew, the instant I saw that image, exactly where you were.  With the benefit of hindsight, I perhaps should have sent you a PM with my answer, so as to allow others to offer their answers.  Embarrassed

I'm actually not too bad at these picture quiz topics - provided nobody sets me up with a Taunton one, obviously.  Roll Eyes
