‘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'

Tour of 24/4/65. "Peter Green - Courtesy RCTS Courtney Haydon Collection" With thanks to Cyril Crawley for the permission to use these images on the SMJ website.
The late John Courtney Haydon was a prolific photographer of the railway scene. His photographic archive was bequeathed to the society and members of the photo archive team are attempting to catalogue the collection which includes several thousand negatives about which we have little or no information. Additional photos will usually be posted on Mons., Weds. & Fridays.
