Power Station on horizon behind.Using compass and map, where was this photo taken from?

Some where on the Staninngley/Bramley border. The Power station would be ferry bridge as although there are places in Leeds where you can see Drax and Eggborough Bridgewater would be behind you.

Could be Bramley Park or Gotts Park. In fact I'd be more inclined to say Gotts Park.

Woodhall Golf Club at Calverley?I was wrong about Ferry Bridge too. That can be seen further to the right on the 2nd image.

That would make sense - at the top of Woodhall Lane around the junction with Priesthorpe Road?

From there, I took a hike up Billings Hill (on recom'd of an SL) and the view + photo from there confused me more. Nothing was where I thought it would be. The basic lens doesn't help but here it is.

The power station on all 3 images is Eggborough. I think the two tall towers under the question mark are Plaza (@ 36 floors 4 more than Bridgewater even though it is smaller but with a higher ground floor level) and Opal III just off Wade Lane. Most of Central Leeds' towers are obscured by the trees/the haze/the camera lens.

Actually I am not convinced it's Eggborough. It may even be Drax proving how flat the Vale of York is. If it is Egborough then from Rawdon you are pretty much looking straight down the Aire valley.
