I was just doing a search for a chap called john street after watchin TV a short while ago.  Someone in the new forrest was telling the story about a murder at one of the gatehouses No 15)  John street was either the one killed or the gate keeper for the railway crossing.  I think he was actually the killer of the gate keeper.  It was night time and hee was drunk and wanting to get home in a rush. When the keeper came to the door Street mangled him with a scythe, slicing him diagonally from cheek to pelvis...eeew!   probably a red herring!
