No 3 could be the post grouping LNWR (London North Western Railway) if it were after the "grouping" with the L&YR but before the MR (Midland Railway).

I'm thinking "Manors" but not seeing "Great Western" in there.  Perhaps I have missed something.

6. Apartments in Ohio.  (Googled)…

Apartments - or shopping malls?   Columbus, Ohio.  Also Googled in setting up the quiz!
