Old milestone
Vegetation had to be cleared to reveal this West Riding CC milestone. It is one of 615 set up in 1893/94 for the newly formed West Riding Council all over its extensive 'territory' from Sedbergh in the north west to south of Rotherham and over the Pennines into Saddleworth. Over half are still in situ. It is on the south side of the A635 between Denby Lane and Lower Denby Lane.

Old milestone
A view of the 8 miles from Barnsley milestone under the arch of the railway viaduct at Denby Dale. Trains from Barnsley approach from the left and the station is a short distance to the right across the A636 Wakefield Road.
Old milestone
This is the last late 19C West Riding CC milestone between Barnsley and Shepley Lane Head. There would have been two more but they are missing. Many of the metal attachments had the foundry name on the bevel but the ones on this route haven't so we don't know where they were forged. On this milestone the four fixing points for the attachment to the backing stone can be seen. Grade II listed 1135325.
Old milestone
One of the five remaining West Riding CC milestones with a protruding attachment still to be seen on this route, A636, from Wakefield to Denby Dale. It is at the northeastern end of Denby Dale, although apparently this area was in Skelmanthorpe parish. It is close to the entrance to Putting Mill Walk. Grade II listed 1185069.
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.
