‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways' 

Gone but not forgotten: "the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth"

I think that this is a brick kiln.

Judging by the circular nature and the brick arches etc.

Great photo

I will try to have a nose around. I love the exploring nature of old railways...
Is it open access or do you have a POC for permission?

Next time you are in the Towcester area, thge whole Easton Neston Quarry site is worth a look. There is a lot of the Llyods sidings still to see, the pit at Russia pit is now a lake and scattered all around are variuos buildings in various states of decay (such as this one). As to its original purpsoe - dunno!
