I had a snoop around GCHQ Scarborough, (with my collar turned up and my hat pulled down over my eyes). No luck

Here's a clue... There is a Sky dish on one building. They point 28 degrees east of south, which means that the road is headed roughly north!

Let's move this on a bit...
Is it somewhere in the area below? (If it isn't then I don't have a clue and have been wasting my time!)
If it IS but we don't get it in the next 24 hours, I'll shrink the area and ask again!

Actually, more like NE?

Aaargh - well done!
I checked Moor Bottom Lane, which is parallel to it but does not have the LH bend. Why did I not check Norland Rd! I must have got distracted. At least my amended road direction was right...
And I was also right with my original guess for the area.
I hadn't mentioned it, but I was guessing an elevation of 200-250m, which turned out to be right too (it is roughly 230m). It was obviously elevated, but didn't look like the higher hills round here.

I've just been following pylons around Halifax for several days... sure I'd skimmed over that area before, but missed it.
I need to go out for a while, will post something later

When I spotted the satellite dish I looked up what direction they point in. Unfortunately, I miscalculated... For some reason, I was thinking that 28 degrees E of S was SE, rather than almost SSE. That made me initially look for roads heading N. I realised my mistake earlier today which meant the road was actually heading more like NE.

Let's see if this can beat @classic33's five day teaser (is that a record)... or maybe it'll be another named in under 30 mins?
name that road!
