It wouldn't have been a guess: I'd know any picture of Taunton if I saw it, obviously.  Tongue

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.
