Great pictures, I may well be wrong but the lower one looks rather like Ansty Bank to me? What a lovely looking farmhouse.

The first two photo's are near SE Barlow's wharf again (now a mooring/winding hole), with Tamworth Road/Amington Road in the background.

 

However I am struggling to place the third photo. It may be taken from Bridge 63 looking towards Alvecote, there is a terrace of older houses and an embankment there but much more tree cover and higher hedges now. I'll have to walk the dog that way and have a closer look.

Yes, exactly that, I think they're called Rose cottages, very private then and even more so now.

The picture would have been Winter '63,

It's never been piled like that at Ansty.

Thanks, even better the farmhouse seems still to be there. The piling is too, should have recognised it from 2 weeks ago , though it was getting dark 😞
