I think you'll find that the West Midlands Safari Park is actually located in Bewdley! Cheesy Wink

Is it London Zoo?

Erm ... it can't be Taunton again ... can it?  Roll Eyes

By the way, I'm not convinced that we're looking at a live animal here: I think it's a statue of a rhino, in a park in a town, somewhere in FGW (First Great Western)-land?

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.

He's good, he's right ... and he was also right when he suggested it isn't Taunton. It isn't any of the other suggestd places either; very firmly First land, but not exclusively served by them.

It's been over 12 hours since the OP (Original Poster / topic starter). Can we have another clue? I will place a totally random guess of Newton Abbot.....

My guess is Salisbury. But I confess I am not familiar with the local parks (or wildlife)

Not Salisbury, not Newton Abbott ... about 100 yards from me as I write this.
