Public Health England, Oak Park Close, Cookridge
There is a sign from Silk Mill Way pointing to "Public Health England" that must refer to this building, so it's not a secret location although there's no signage at the gate. A little online research shows it's the home of Public Health England's CRCE Radiation Protection Division.

Oak Park Drive
The housing estate has been built in recent years in the grounds of the former Cookridge Hospital. Although it is well served by buses, and within walking distance of Horsforth railway station, disappointingly every house seemed to have at least one car parked outside.
