SVR Photographic Locations - Advice Needed

[RetroCrowe]

Hi all, I'm looking to attend the Severn Valley Diesel Gala later this month and although I usually prefer to film on stations, this time I'm looking into a few lineside (on the correct side of the fence and not trespassing of course) locations around Eardington and Hay Bridge. I've seen a few interesting ones on YouTube videos but since I'm not familiar with the local area, I would greatly appreciate any advice with the following locations:



First off, is this field at Hay Bridge still publicly accessible, and if so, what's the best way to get here:

Secondly, if the previous spot isn't publicly accessible, how about this one? Google Maps appears to show that there is no public access to this path except for residents, yet I still seem to see a fair few people filming here?:

Finally, does anyone know much about this bridge just south of Eardington station? The bridge looks overgrown and abandoned on Google Street View but it's somewhat difficult to get a good angle to see it properly:

Any help/advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I think it's a pity that no-one on this forum has offered you any help so far. The biggest problem when going to Severn Valley locations which aren't stations, is the car parking. Car parking isn't great at the stations along the line either.

Google views are unreliable because they are years out of date.

I have only been to Severn Valley once and as a photographer it's not on my wishlist to revisit unfortunately.

You might have more success on the www.national-preservation.com forum as that seems to have more photographers than this group.
