Going on the OP's other topic, I'm guessing he's either part of or aiding the Voluntary Search Teams. Who are searching the Moor for the remains of Keith Bennett, who was so tragically murdered by Brady & Hindley!

 

More details Here if anyone can help please do so!

I was wondering if the data could be gained from an on-line resource. Google Streetview? Google Earth? On-line OS Maps?

Google StreetView is certainly the tool for the job.

 

Every metre of that road is imaged in great detail and with pannable zoomable panorama too.

 

The infamous layby is easily viewed here.

 

To obtain co-ords of the camera head, click on the "link" icon at the upper right of the screen. The second set of co-ords in the address string are the ones you want. The first set are merely whatever was the first search term you started with. Towards the end of the line you can even see the True Bearing to the centre of the image (003° in this case).

 

The layby shown above is the one which formed the datum for the several unsuccessful searches. I presume the coloured balloons tied to the fence are some kind of memorial to the kid.

That's an odd link. It seems to lock IE8 and crashes it if you try to close it. In Firefox it displays the layby but points to a random area of moor. Must be a weird Google bug.

But here's what you see;
