Feniscowles - Rose Cottage - c1900

All I know about this photo, is what it has printed on it, Rose Cottage, Feniscowles.
Does anyone recognise the house, know where it is and if it's still standing?
My date is only an estimation, based on the clothes the women are dressed in.

Cherry Tree Station - 1950's


Cherry Tree Station, probably in the 1950's, looking towards Mill Hill.
That's the bridge that takes you up Green Lane. Nice little stationmaster's house or whatever it was.
If you stare right down the line for long enough, eventually you can see an old steam train, slowly chugging its way towards you. It works best when you've had a few drinks.

Livesey Old Hall


Three images of Livesey Old Hall. The top one is a drawing by Chas Haworth and dates from the mid-late 1800's. The centre one is by a W. Fairclough and dates to around 1940 and the bottom one, I have no information about. The lower image pixelates a lot when enlarged, but in its condensed form it does offer another perspective of the hall, so added for that reason alone.
I know very little about Livesey Old Hall, only that it dated from c1600 and fell into disrepair in the 1950's. I'm not exactly sure where it was situated. I think it was somewhere off to the right of Preston Old Rd (when heading west), sort of where Springfield Avenue & Woodlands Avenue are now.
