15. Newton Abbot? Had an hour and a bit break there during my HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) training for a pasty!

rts... not sure whether that was a guess, seeing as TJ has already correctly identified 15 as Newton Abbot. It appears that someone has nicked the 'House' from the end of that canopy sign. It is indeed a close up of the awning above the entrance to 'South Devon House' aka Newton Abbot station main building.

Feel free to have a guess of another pic.  Wink

Oh, and... 'HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) training for a pasty'. Is that what you get if you pass?  Grin

Why would drink fizzy p*sswater like Coors or Budweiser when I could have a nice beer from one of Philly's many great local breweries...?

Yes, I know, it came as a surprise to me too that there was decent beer this side of the pond  Grin

12. is Oldfield Park rather than St James' Park, isn't it?

Is 6. Trowbridge by any chance?
