Wrong direction and further out of town. It's on a bus route.

No. One final clue. Think WF postcode.

The roadside trig point mentioned above. Middleton Ln, Leeds. Interestingly the Winthorpe estate just a little bit further up the road has a Wakefield postcode even though it's in the Leeds boundary.

These are on the roadside wall of the former Kirkstall forge steel works. Now being redeveloped to housing and office spaces.
Firstly this one.https://goo.gl/maps/8AWQeFTmVQp4rp7HA
Then this one a bit further along the same road. https://goo.gl/maps/XuCukEF6Av6R2jEU8

I know that road (Middleton Lane), & the 'trig'
My grandparents lived on that estate, & was one of the first families into it, I believe(?) - circa 1947(?), grandmother lived there, till she died
My father used to play with the kids from Thorpe Hall, on the bend, back in the mid-late 50's
Equally, I know the Obelisk at Kirkstall Forge too, & the Beckett Street 'bm' is the Lodge, isn't it?
Several 'finds' on yesterday's ride around Rutland Water.
A semi hidden plate (until I de-ivyed it!) on the Horse & Jockey pub, Manton.
Just up the hill a bit, on the main road through Manton, a worn BM.
A slightly better cut mark on Farm Cottage, Egleton.
Another cut mark, better this time, on Egleton Church.
Upper Hambleton, actually the only one of the Hambletons left since the flooded t'others to make the reservoir.. This cut mark was on a cottage opposite the church and the war memorial posted in that thread.

A few more from yesterday. Firstly, when is a Trig Point not a Trig Point? 🤔
Probably when it's not on the OS map? There is no plate or markings on this monolith, just a threaded plate on the top. I reckon it was for the surveyor when the reservoir was constructed. It's just to the South of Normanton.
In Uppingham, on my way home, I stopped for a walk in the drizzle. It needs a lick of paint, but unusual to see an Edward VII wall box!
A vanishing BM by the Market Square
As luck would have it, the bike was in the car, and I was on foot! 😂

1.
York Road (the old A64), as it leaves Tadcaster to the east
It's almost opposite the John Deere dealer; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4799830
The house behind the wall (where milestone is) would appear to be a renovated/extended Toll-House, but it doesn't even feature on the 1905 OS map, but it does show 'bar buildings' to the north side of the road
There is also another reminder of 'days goneby', at the entry to a new housing estate
