Valve markers near Hill Top Farm
The markers indicate a washout and air valve on a 400mm water main. This might either be a treated water main emanating from the nearby Graincliffe treatment works, or the raw water Nidd aqueduct that runs along this hillside. Close inspection of the 1936 map shows the Nidd to be about 60m west of here, so I'll go with it being the Graincliffe outlet to supply the Bingley area.

Hill Top Lane, Micklethwaite
The lane is supported on its south side by a retaining wall of huge boulders and is marked by these boulders. It runs from Carr Lane, just above the village, and fades out in a field below Hill Top Farm. It has no obvious function because it does not connect any significant points.
The village of East Morton is in the background with Rivock Edge on the skyline.

Looking east on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, to the east of Morton Swing Bridge, near Micklethwaite, West Yorkshire. The photo was taken just outside the square, but the canal bend, the hillside and the village of Micklethwaite are all within SE1041.
