Originally posted in "Frequent Posters" and now made publicly visible - I had added links to the original image so you can read more about themOne each to start with please.      Research via the following would probably lead you to some locations quite quickly. Please resist the temptation if you can for the first 24 hours to make it more fun for others. I've posted initially in "Frequent Posters" as I know you're a responsible lot who will follow that request  - I will be moving the thread to "the lighter side" once all the locations have been identified so that guests and very new members can enjoy the pictures too.

The only one I knew for definite was 4, Midford on the S&DJR▸ . Already answered by eightf48544.
Having read widely on the 'Somerset & Dorset' it was an image I immediately recognised.
Interesting signal arm in that picture.....

2, yes, Coombe 4, yes, Midford No 1 is not on the Maidehhead - Marlow line At first glance I also wondered if that was the bridge at Bourne end.. But on closer inspection I realised that I wouldn't have been able to walk over the one in the picture (big fear of heights on my part) but I have walked over the Bridge at Bourne end many times :-) |

Would 1 be the bridge over the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Bridge, Wolverhampton (Wolverhampton to Stourbridge Junction)
It would indeed ... just the third and fifth images to go. Just one of the remaining images is in FGW▸ land. I'll have to take the Marlow train sometime and see the bridge that's obviously very close in looks to the Wolverhampton one. |

Not high enough, river (or canal) is not wide enough, the photo is a skew bridge Bourne End is not at such a skew it also has piers in the middle of the river |
