Higher Heights Farm A tautology, or just a comparison with Lower Heights nearby?  It is at a localised summit on a ridge, but at 230m by no means the highest farm in the area.

Tanker by Heights Lane This is either an old road tanker or a redundant industrial boiler, in use at a farm, for an uncertain purpose (possibly to hold diesel oil for refilling tractors?)

Houses opposite Hill Top Lane The row to the right (at right angles to the road) are named as Drake Hill Cottages on an old map. Those to the left are slightly newer but do appear on the 1956 map.

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.
