Wakefield Corporation Water Works
Wakefield Road
Nornanton
Wakefield

Possibly with the source here, at Ringstone Edge Reservoir, which is a couple of miles north of Scammonden Reservoir
(that's the dam-wall that's crossed on the M62, between jcts 22 & 23)

The trenches in the field, are due to soil surveys prior to house building commencing

It's by the first tree, on the opposite side of the road; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4765323
