Probably shouldn't put these rather sad pictures in "lighter side". However .. can you tell me where?  |

Always one to go for the low-hanging fruit: Top right is Warmley.

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Top left not sure which tram system but there seem to be some quite large potholes in the road.

Only "low hanging" if you know it. Yes, it is! Top left not sure which tram system but there seem to be some quite large potholes in the road.
Nope - no tramway (which would have been an interesting idea there) but rather a level crossing. |

Fair comment. I've passed through there, sober, heading towards Bath many a time; less often sober in the reverse direction. As to the top left: I presume I'm not allowed another go until the 24 hours is up, but something tells me FT, N! might know where it is... Belay that; it's clearly not where I thought... |

Wild guess for the large picture: on the Strawberry Line?

Hmm. Whereabouts, exactly? The Shute Shelve tunnel entrance and the road overbridge near Cheddar are much wider spans than that - and I can't think of any other possible views, offhand?  |

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.

Not the Strawberry Line, I'm afraid ... but for that bigger picture I did walk from the station where an FGW▸ train (as it was) had dropped me off.
The bottom left and bottom right pictures are very much "in territory"; the top left one is somewhat out of area, but a place covered on the forum. The smaller pictures are not recent; the big 'un is last summer.

Bottom right - somewhere along the disused Radstock to Frome line?

Correct - Kilmerstock, where (if legend is to be believed) Jack and Jill went up the hill |

Is that a Portmanteau, Grahame? Of Kilmersdon and Radstock perhaps?  |

Prompted more than a bit with the answer to bottom RH picture, I think I spy a slag-heap in the background of the bottom LH picture. If so, possibly not far away from the same location somewhere in the Somerset coalfield, but beyond that guess, no idea!

Yes - that's actually on the old Radstock site ... taken on a different visit to the area to the Kilmersdon trip. Leaves top left to get (remember, not GW▸ territory) and the main picture which - sorry - isn't Tarka▸ trail. Very surprised you've not got that one, PhilWakely, as I think I've been in your company within a mile or so of the spot! |
