Search for Modder on Leodis brings up a similar view of the signin 2007,more legible then probably as Armley malleable ironworks.

This was uncovered a few years ago over a take away at Hyde Park corner It says "Marsdens Light cars" and "Sidecar"

Marsdens was a very reputable motorcycle dealer and well repected in the area. I once had the unenviable task of driving an Ilkley Ledgard conductress's Victoria "Vicky" little blue scooter to Marsden's for a warranty repair - an ordeal I'd not care to repeat if there are any still around, which I doubt.

This unusual symbol is on the side of a house in Whitkirk.Situated by the traffic lights on the Selby Road/Colton Road junction.I understand much of the area belonged to Temple Newsam but that doesn't explain the 'T.W.'

I would imagine its simply the initials of the person who originally had the building built.
