The second one is (I think) the statue of King Alfred the Great in the market place in Wantage?

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.

Wantage (2nd picture) - correct - Chris
Melksham (5th picture) - correct - also Chris
Chippenham (6th Picture) - correct - John R

But no Bradford-on Avon, no Trowbridge, I'm afraid!

Both correct .. which leaves just the fourth picture to be identified.   A well know enough spot, and very much in the area that FGW▸ (First Great Western) covers .... just not on the railway  Wink
