Old milestone

A few of the West Riding CC late 19C milestones were cast as flat plates. This was usually where there wasn't room for a protruding attachment. This is by the Navigation Inn on the A670, once the West Riding but Greater Manchester since the early 1970s. It was painted in 2010 but the legends were not outlined in black. The foundry name, Brayshaw & Booth, Makers, Liversedge is just discernable under HUDDERSFIELD/13 MILES. These flat plates also had a narrower backing stone than the usual design.
