The first pic also brings to mind Denison Hall at the top of Hanover Square.

I used to help with the hospital radio station there in the late 70s - the studio was in the little room right at the top of the building, which could be a bit spooky late at night. Sad to see it looking so dilapidated now - I think the station is still broadcasting, presumably with a new home!

All 3 buildings are pre 1850 so could well be in a simmilar style. Incidentaly the old Chapel Allerton building was I believe known originally as Gledhow Grove. Whilst looking back at my maps, I never realised before that Waterloo Lake predated 1850 as well, I had always thought that that turned up in the late 19th century
