Thanks everyone for going to the trouble to look into these three difficult images. We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.

Suggest it's looking north over Ince Flats, centred around 53d17'23", -2d49'31", between Ellesmere Port and Helsby. Looking at the 1945 aerials on GE, the field boundaries and the visible channel on the mudflats are strikingly similar.

Also noticed there's a following tug in the pictures too - looks like a paddle tug, uncommon for 1948...

I have had another look, using the GE aerial rather than maps and have found the field corner just north of Ince

I shall start the ball rolling on this one by commenting that this series of three photos were taken on the same day and show a tug towing an ocean going ship along a canal. The canal is likely to be the Manchester Ship Canal. I can not read a name of either of the vessels. The three photos in the series are EAW015932 EAW015933 and EAW015934
