Victorian cottage on Burton Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch
There's very little to show the origin of this cottage, but the gate into the little field is the nearest to a give-away.
This was the crossing keeper's cottage for a level crossing on the Ashby to Melbourne and Derby railway line which closed to passengers in 1930, and freight in 1980. The V-shape of the field is due to there being a junction here to sidings which themselves followed the line of the original horse-drawn Ticknall Tramway. The sidings served the towns gasworks, with a large gasometer at the end of the field where the blue shed can be seen. Until 1927, the Burton and Ashby tram ran along the main road here.
There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5874466 on the corner of the cottage.

Burton Road, Ashby
Straight ahead is Ashby Methodist Church, and on the right behind the blue railings is the Church of England Primary School. Just beyond the brick building on the far right is a drive which previously gave access to Holywell mill - that has now disappeared.

Entering Ashby-de-la-Zouch on Burton Road, 1962
View east, past the Ashby Primary School, on what was the A50 trunk road from Burton-on-Trent until about 1990, when new roads and by-passes round Ashby and Coalville were built.

Burton Road, Ashby De La Zouch
Looking towards the roundabout which connects Derby Road and Elford Street (turning into North Street). The C of E primary school is on the left, and the Methodist church on the right.
This picture can be compared with another picture taken in 1962, which can be seen here
