‘Puffing Billy' ran down and killed 64-year-old Mary Tobin at the Hook
Road crossing...

...but where was that crossing?

Further to my earlier post, I see that the area is now called Tobin's
Copse on the map at:

Is that a typo for 'Tobin's Corpse'?

Don't know the area - but it's more likely "copse" which means "wood
of small trees grown for periodical cutting, a thicket".
Alternatively, a "coppice".
