Is number 4 Taunton?
I scrolled down to look wondering if that was a serious suggestion until I saw what picture that was!

I assume 5 is the closed St Lawrence Station on the Isle of Wight (as that's the name on the station sign!).

Apologies, couldn’t resist.
Chris from Nailsea will be gutted if there’s no historic picture of Taunton for him to take a guess at.

No 2 is on the S&D. Probably Shepton Mallet.

No, it's not on the Isle of Wight ... there are / were at least one other "St Lawrence"

1. Chirk chipboard factory, or if it's not there then somewhere in Scotland at the other end of the route, where the timber is loaded.
Date - I guess 1975 judging by the man's clothing and hairstyle.
