Help with a couple of slides please

Can anyone recognise these 2 places. They may be the same area and may not be from round here but they were in with a collection of slides on Accrington

Seems familiar to me, could it be West Farm at the top of Sandy Lane, turn right at Blue Slates Cottages, and its on the right.
Every things changed up there now, new buildings footpaths blocked etc.

Thanks Retlaw but it does now look like I have copied the slides the wrong way round

Will scan them again tomorrow and put them on hopefully the right way.

Many years go I delivered mail to West Farm,and either way round the pic didn't look familair. I just looked on Google Earth and it confirms my thoughts. West Farm is Gable End side on to the track unlike the one in the picture.

Thats completely changed everything, can't say I've seen a farm like that round here.
When I was in the Fire Brigade, I surveyed all the local farms for access, & water supplies in case of fire. Nowt rings a bell with those pictures.

Anzac - Would you object to me adjusting the pics a bit to get them a bit sharper? It might help with recognition.

There is a stone over the front door that could have a date or initals on it, can you enhance that bit to see if its so.

Thanks Retlaw it's just that all the other slides are of Accrington so I thought these may be also.

They are all Accrington - some of places - some of people. Quite a few of Accrington town centre and one or two inside the market hall.
