Yes, it is ... i wondered how easy or hard that one would be as it's not taken from a spot where passengers usually go.

7 is Norwich. I think I'm right in saying there isn't a picture of Taunton in this collection  Grin

I'm afraid 7 isn't Norwich, but you're on the right lines. Your other statement is correct  Grin

I can see the similarity (and it's a good guess seeing as I'm in Cambridge at the moment) but I'm afraid it isn't.   You *are* in the correct region and an ex-Great Eastern station.

Could have been .... but isn't.   Gosh - are there really so many stations in East Anglia that look like this?

There have been three close guesses ... one's less than a mile off, one just three stations out, and another very much on the right line.  Feel free to have further educated guesses, anyone!

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.
