Autumn colour, Upper Cumberworth Whilst exploring a footpath I found that it crosses a field apparently left to nature, with young trees and patches of brambles.  There is a seat behind the tree in the centre of the image, and I thought that this might be a Millennium green, but the nearest ones are at Emley and Clayton West; Upper Cumberworth has a small village garden.

Area of springs, Upper Cumberworth There is water amongst the grass in this area, especially in hollows amongst the birch trees on the other side of the footpath.

Old milestone This West Riding CC milestone is seen when leaving Denby Dale just beyond the railway viaduct and before the junction with the A635 from Barnsley.   Only a few of these flat castings were made, usually where there was no space for the protruding style.  However this one is unique.   It is the only one of the surviving flat castings which is not divided by a central raised line.   This is because Denby Dale and Wakefield are in the same direction.  Another difference is that the foundry name is at the centre top instead of on the left side.   It is Grade II listed 1135309.

Old milestone This milestone is set into the garden wall of Salt Pie Cottage on the A629 between High Flatts and Birds Edge.  The owners rebuilt the wall to show more of the milestone and on a very sunny day it is surrounded by flowers, possibly of the mallow family.   It is 9 miles to Huddersfield and 3¼ to Penistone on the old tollroad.  Grade II listed 1135304.
