I cannot recall just which photos are in it, but you might usefully look at 'Oswaldtwistle Observed ; Gawpin' at Gobbinland' by Mike Booth & Albert Wilkinson which I published 5yrs ago.

Your right Bob there are two photos in Oswaldtwistle Observed, one of Foxhill Bank Hall and another of the bridge on the coach road, Simpsons Bridge, they're on page 23 and are copy right of Lancashire Library
