1.  Devizes.  From the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page), https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1dp0y12qy6o  Grin

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.
