2. The only place I can think of with that configuration of windows/arches is Bristol Temple Meads. Thought it was curvier than that though...
I thought it looked like Paddington Platform 1 - Oxenhutch just beat me to it while I was posting |

Yes, it is Paddington ... not sure personally if it's standing in platform 1 or 3, with the Paddington "look" a couple of tracks behind it. Quality too poor to be sure on the perspective. Picture from 1910. |

1. Pilning?
Nope. Can't think of any record or photos (and goodness I have quite a few photos of Pilning!) of it flooding there. |

Another (wild?) guess for no 5 - is this the "Taunton" one?

This was Taunton in 1895 then, when the platforms were lengthened and bay platforms were provided. Hence the narrow gauge bulk track, the station had been mixed gauge from the 1870s to 1892.

Oh, you're all so funny.  When I returned home from work and caught up here on the Coffee Shop forum, I knew instantly that it was Taunton in 1895.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

but isn't No. 1 is described as "works train in the flooded Sodbury cutting in November 1899" . See http://www.passenger.chat/10743 for some more recent flooding and alleviation works. |
