Pretty sure it's the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, and it looks like a terminus, so I'll take a stab at Hythe?

Well done. So close. New Romney.

Port Talbot Docks & Backworth Colliery in Northumberland, so it's had a pretty hard 125 years! It probably feels like it's been to India

As someone who's visited Scotland and Northern England many times, I wouldn't recommend missing London for their sakes.

Just my two pence!

Google is really a strong tool. When there is a picture available on internet that looks similar it will find it in no time.

I tried many of my own pictures, pictures I made myself, none shared anywhere, and almost all Google could trace.
