You sure that ... pic is Hillmorton?  I don't recognise the building and the paddle gear looks wrong?  In fact i'll take a stab at it being Calcutt top lock.

I go with Calcutt as well, with the little stop to the left hand end and the chandlers to the right

You sure that second pic is Hillmorton?

I don't recognise the building and the paddle gear looks wrong?

Yes, amended earlier post with comments. Here is Calcutt top lock GU from our most recent trip that way on 11 May 2023, with a boat moored in the mouth of the disused narrow lock
