This image of a postcard showing the junction of Church Lane and Stockport Road was already on the Virtual Tour:

Apparently the gent sitting on the wall is "Cushy Steel", a member of the Rishworth family who lived at Peace Farm.
With this glass side was another of the same location that I haven't seen before.
