Yes, our house was the end-of-terrace, you can see sticking up at the middle of the bottom of your picture.  Immediately to the left of the gasworks, but set back from the road (it was just a dusty lane in those days), was a large engineering works.  When we lived there, it was known as Shipston Engineering and later became Norgren Engineering/Valves.  Eventually, they (along with the companies using the old station yard as an industrial estate), de-camped to a new, purpose-built estate on the northern edge of Shipston.  Sadly, Norgren (the biggest employer in Shipston at the time) closed in 2008 and the manufacturing moved to eastern Europe.
 

Actually, if you crank-up 'Google Earth', you can use the 'Time-Slider' function to go back to 1945, revealing an historic aerial photograph overlay.  Unfortunately, the quality is not good and it is not scaled or positioned quite correctly (does not line up with the roads, for example).  You can pick out the gasworks, but the image is poor.  Looking at it though, shows I got my earlier info slightly wrong - it is the larger gas holder which is at the rear of the works and the smaller (but taller) one, is the one nearest to the gasworks house.

Hi Steve

Yes, I did the timeline trick some months ago and put four images into a slide show, but the registration was not at all easy. And, as you say, the older air photos are very poor quality.

The house you lived in features in one of the warwickshirerailways.com photos of the goods yard and gas holder. I could not understand why the gable was at right angles to the gas works house, then realized it was a different house altogether!
