I think C is Westbury (now that young trout has reminded me elsewhere that I've actually been there! Embarrassed ).

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

I have updated the guessed pictures. I tried to post earlier, but my Galaxy S4 does something weird when trying to quote previous posts (Will attach pic later Wink )

So we have the following piccys left: D and F... Clues will be provided on request of the forum.

Oh and I'm sorry CfN... Wink Grin Cheesy

I think C is Westbury (now that young trout has reminded me elsewhere that I've actually been there! Embarrassed ).

Negative Sad

If you're going by geographical landmarks along the same lines... You wouldn't go far wrong with D Wink

F is a tricky one... It was taken on the same day as G if that is any help... Wink

I will hazard a guess at F of Sheffield, on the basis that the pillar appears to be in the East Midlands Trains colour scheme.

Pah!  It's not a monument at all - sorry, I should have looked at your high-res picture before guessing!  Roll Eyes Embarrassed

Is D Yarnbrook?

It is indeed Grin

Taken from a footpath on White Horse Business Park.

The line is situated between Trowbridge and Westbury / Heywood East Junction. Closest railway landmark being Yarnbrook Viaduct (Despite it just been a road bridge Roll Eyes )

The "little horse" clue was a reference to Westbury White Horse Smiley
