Miles off.
Accrington only, I only do research on Accys history.

I'll refrain from being sarcastic about the nature reserve in Ossy.

No wrong part of Accrington you need to be a mile further south than Penny House.

Hill St in Bash has twice as many houses, and where would the lane be approaching them.

The cottages in the picture are far older than Hill St.

Doe's the crystal ball mean you are a witch then.
Although some of your guesses or are coming close, or are you asking other people for the answers.
Admit you have never seen those cottages.
The next picture puzzle will really stump you, when you've properly answered this one .

Just something I remembered from childhood walks (yes, we did a lot of walking then). Have searched myself too, as with your other puzzles ... :p

Anyway, research also includes asking knowledgeable people about a subject I would have thought ? Although, bet you are too proud to do this :D

All the way round where, if you stay on Sandy Lane you wont see them.
Need to turn right at New House farm.
Sand Lane goes all the way to the Kings Highway, but now you have to cross the Easterly Bypass.

Higher Hey which is the 2nd oldest property in Accrington, is also cut off by the Bypass now.
