Taken from a slightly different angle from the 1930s pic - the curved fence appears more centrally in that shot.
Acknowledged to the Historic Society of Lancs & Chesh. - Vol. 117 of their Transactions, from an article by D Anderson on Wages & Disputes etc.

This could have been taken in a south easterly direction from Pemberton station area to include so many of the chimneys, three of the pits and the Bye pit just off to the right. The last photograph I would think was taken from The Blundell Arms area in a easterly direction.
