Brilliant collection of very interesting photos.

However, is not Cottage 251 at Minworth No 1 Top Lock rather than Curdworth (which in any case was re-located)? Or has the naming changed over time?

Following on from that where exactly are 252 & 253 - noticing the pylons does it date from before the motorway?
