Impossible to get Finn in this shot, he was waiting patiently while I took it.

No ... no red brick in the viaduct there. All local stone.  Undecided

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.

Yes - on second thoughts, and looking up from underneath - you're right.  Sorry for the wrong answer.  Embarrassed
