Yup, I agree, they're a bit too small to give much comment.

They could be a bit bigger. But from the looks of the second one...that looks to be a good capture.

the history is relatively short actually, it is part of an area of land owned by the Lever family, and at its peak it was an extensive area of gardens. Now it is more of a country park, but all of the architecture was simply built as "follies", i.e. no structural purpose.

The Pike itself was used as a "beacon" hill during olden times (1400's or so) as were most highish hills across the UK.
