‘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'

I think the road sign points to Helmdon. Is it on the N&BJ line just out of Cockley Brake Junction? Some of us walked from that bridge up to the junction a couple of years ago, the parapets have been completely removed. Good photo, I've never seen one of that bridge.

i hadnt thought about that fact Jim,its not the bridge at Eydon though. You can just see a road sign,so its on a T juction

I think there are only about 10 rail over bridges on the SMJ - but my first guess would be the bridge over the road to the north-east of Eydon.
