Thanks Colin, a good challenge that one. Looked all over Calderdale before returning to my first thought and taking a punt on it just being a different perspective!That's it!
I was probably a little bit further back, and don't forget, the SV camera would be significantly higher than mine.
The other photo I found was taken at Widdop reservoir itself...

The road is on the other side of the wall on the right.
The original picture was taken below the hill, ahead right - Boulsworth Hill, the highest in the area until you get to Pendle Hill. The summit of Boulsworth Hill is Lad Law... Boy's Rules? I'll fetch me coat!
Over to you.
a cryptic clue so obscure, none of it appears on google maps for those without local knowledge!That's it!

*GASP* - don't we all use OS maps!?a cryptic clue so obscure, none of it appears on google maps for those without local knowledge!
I checked with the corrected info about the Dales/Norland Moor and the distance from Tod. Assuming that the spot was roughly equidistant from Skipton and Norland Moor, draw a line obeying that condition. I said the location was significantly within 13 km from Todmorden that distance, so maybe guess 5-10 km (it is actually 10 km) and draw arcs representing those distances. Look for a minor unfenced road close to the line and within the arcs and there aren't many choices. Crown Point (south of Burnley) would have been another contender.Some of us do .... I found Lad Law at about the same time as I found the correct spot on Streetview (combining the 13km Todmorden radius clue with the unfenced road appearance and the parked car clue). I dismissed it, after considerable deliberation, due to it not looking at all like the photo. Hmph!
Neither - I bought whole-GB OS digital maps before the subscription model became popular. If I didn't already own them, I would subscribe now. It amazes me that on my phone (and all of my other devices) I have the whole of Britain at 1:250,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000 and 1:10,000 scales!Is that a free online OS source you've found or a subscription one?
There's the Lad(d) Stone on Norland Moor, where trials were held in days gone by.
And those found guilty were dispatched at Gallows Pole Hill?!There's the Lad(d) Stone on Norland Moor, where trials were held in days gone by.
I admit that having vanishing features like unexpected herds of Highland cattle was somewhat unkind to you!
And those found guilty were dispatched at Gallows Pole Hill?!
I couldn't find them on Street view!The cattle hadn't strayed far
