I'm sure one of my pics of the concrete oak look very similar to your first one rob. Strangely very similar!

 

Few pics of a big leaning oak. Very much so. Bark has come off from the tension. Slowly falling over?

Here is a very old one. In a church yard in Hampshire. Reportedly 27ft max girth and mentioned in the Doomsday survey. The church dates from 12th century.

Have a look at this website regarding some ancient olives, truly amazing species and a site I must visit one day. I had believed the bristle cones and the english yew where the true kings of longevity, would seem however, that olives too are all powerful.
