Um... what pictures?

I can see the pictures using Firefox, Chrome and Opera, although IE8 won't show them if I'm not logged in, and only links to them when I am logged in.

I think it's something on the server that's stopping it, as the images aren't being included in the page source.

Something looks vaguely familiar on that one to me. That looks like an old GW▸ (Great Western) shed that's been sheeted in the background, and perhaps is a building where they make replica nameplates and other iron castings.

The shed in picture 6 is painted the same sort of green as some of the buildings around Chippenham station.

Maybe it's somewhere on the TransWilts line?
Even somewhere near Chippenham?
Let's look at that picture again:
Know what?
Someone must recognise it!
Have we anyone here who'd like to guess?
Any ideas?
Maybe people are just too shy to suggest the correct answer?

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.

I still can't see the pictures, but is #6 Taunton?

EDIT: I can see them now, (thanks, grahame!) so scrub that guess.

Oh - I know where it is.  I was there at around 09:00 this morning ... and the announcement box said "There are no trains due for the next 99 minutes".   Next 99 minutes?  Heck - next 600 minutes  Undecided
