‘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'

you are correct about us both being at Berowne school (now a hotel) in the early 1950's. Unfortunately I cannot remember so much about it except that it was supposed to be a co-ed school, but there was only one girl. Also the evil headmaster Mr. Genders, who used to beat us regularly - he would get put inside for that sort of thing nowadays!
Nice to know that there is someone else around who remembers the old days.
Concerning the SMJ, I just wish that I had a camera in those days.
