Answers follow .... stop scrolling if you want to maintain the mystery for a minute.
blah blah (space filler)
And the answer are ....
No. 4 is ...
Prior Park, on the outskirts of Bath
No. 3 is ...
Midford, where the Someset and Dorset railway line burst out of Combe Down tunnel, passed through the halt, and turned south towards Poole. A main line, closed in 1966.
No. 2 is ...
Handle House, Trowbridge - a beautiful old building constructed over the river and with plentiful ventilation to allow handles that were manufactured in the town to dry. Alas, they have trouble with pigeons these days ... I can't imagine why!
And No 1 was, of course, taken in
Melksham.
