How does 13 grab you? -

Find me a railway level crossing...with old school wooden gates. By which I mean a "proper" crossing worked by a crossing keeper (or gate box or other signaller),
not a "User Worked Crossing".

Well, that's a few hours of my life I won't get back. In the end found one within 3 miles of my house! Unbelievable.

Assuming the answers are valid, who sets the next criteria? Open floor, I say.

If its open floor, please find me a Street View image with the below sign in sight. Only location stipulation is it must be situated within the United Kingdom.

Wow great work Sam, didn't think anyone would get this one.
Apparently this road sign is one of the rarest in Britain and the only one I could find was on this random wall in Lincoln (

Everyone knows there's a car with its roof on fire in Woolwich. Tut.

Can I suggest one?
Find me a UK railway level crossing with no lights or barriers.
Bridges and Tunnels don't count!

Angel of the South!

Just a minute whilst I think of the next challenge...
...ready. Find me a cement mixer.
