My immediate thought was that it was Marsworth with some artistic licence on the right hand side, this is a picture from 2013

 

 

 

The more I look at it I am sure that it is Marsworth, their is a lock cottage a couple of locks down from my photo with the same gable/chimney/roof so it looks like the locks have been combined (And a bridge added)

Bit Cheeky!, although visits to the boat are a bit infrequent as my broken leg is taking ages to mend, hope all well.

The boat is too modern for it to be a "period piece."

 

I think this is Cowley Lock - stand correction?

 

 

 

Not Cowley. That lock (85 on GU) only has buildings on the towpath side - and never did before as far as I can see from old OS maps. Porch is different.

That's an M.G., Guv, not a Porch.

 I agree with you, long drive to get a car to this point though.

I'd agree, and in that respect Cowley fits the bill. Everything else fits together - it's the off-side house that comes from a different location.

The towpath side house and other buildings at Cowley are much larger than the house on the jigsaw.
