Number 5 is bugging me. I have a feeling its one of two places in Somerset. Is it perhaps a bridge for a Quarry line?  |

Wrong county ... and there are still some passenger trains running over it (nothing as regular as clockface, though!). But that picture's going to be the tricky one as it has no track / trackside features shown. |

Only other place I can think of that it *could* be is just after Melksham near Corsham Road Ok yes I had to look on Google Maps, but only to get the road name |

No.1 also looks very much like a bridge over the Kennet & Avon on the B&H▸ between Thatcham and Newbury. But I guess it isn't  |

There are, it seems, a number of skew bridges like this one ... which was identified on the last page as being on the former GWR▸ route from Stourbridge to Wolverhampton. And, yes, Cornwall's more like it for the final picture.
The other remaining image is out of area, although in a part of the country I've been to quite often. This is a historic picture now, said to date from 2005 - and since then it's changed beyond recognition with lots of concrete all over the place.

I'm pretty sure 3 is on the Cambridge - St Ives line, now the guided busway. Histon?

Yes, Richard, it is ... just leaves that bridge which we know's in Cornwall - I expect you might recognise it ? |

number 5 is near roche, carries the newquay branch.
The building on the left has been extensively renovated and looks much better externally now.

It is indeed .. and that completes the quiz. I'll go back, add links to the originals on the intro thread, and move this into public view |
