I drove through this area yesterday. I'd guess the view of Otley Chevin was painted in the Leathley area, but could be wrong.Incidentally, many years ago, while living in London, I found a box of old 1920s car magazines in a disused office at work. The top mag had a photo on the cover showing a car driving past Leathley church.
