I will be flabbergasted if anyone gets this one as it's quite off the beaten track (oops, unplanned pun) but let's see. It is within GWR territory if that's any help. All three pictures taken from roughly the same spot.
Also, any suggestions as to it's original purpose? I think that I may have an idea there.
If no answers by tomorrow I'll give the location and what I think it my have been for.

Springhill Farm Fladbury Worcs.
Siding from Fladbury Station for Stokes Bomford Farmers and Growers. Almost certainaly horse worked.
Mostly Bridge rail some of the rail has been dug out recently near the Network Rail boundry when a new fence was installed.

Wow! Well done, members!
I was floundering around somewhere down in Cornwall, looking for pictures of a clearly long-disused siding.
CfN.

Blimey, my flabber is truly gasted. I thought that no one would get that but once again I'm reminded never to underestimate the collective knowledge of this forum. I stumbled on it on a walk between Pershore and Evesham.
I thought that, despite it clearly leading to the farm entrance, it might have been linked with the adjacent gravel pits (now part of an expanding holiday chalet park). The O.S map at 2.5 inches to the mile does rather make it look like it was linked to the Pershore to Evesham line.
