I think the fact that there are two, and both featuring different elements, shows that he probably used a bit of artistic license and added/subtracted bits to romanticise the image. I'd assume he kept major landmarks untouched, though I can't say I'm 100% sure what existed on the 1827 Accrington skyline.
Would love to see a better quality image to try and make out the buildings. Can see what looks like a manor house towards the mid right.
