‘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"

Watling Street Bridge

Posted on April 14, 2009 at 0:00 1 Comment

Ive been interested in the SMJ since I moved to the area in 1996. I have never seen a photo of the Watling Street Bridge, taken from the road and I wonder whether it was interesting or even of architectural interest. I assume it must have been large enough to allow buses and lorries to pass. If anyone can shed any light on this I would be interested.
