Mill Spring

Old milestone The 6 miles from Barnsley, late 19C West Riding CC, milestone is just west of Coach Gate Lane which leads to the ancient Gunthwaite Hall.   It is on a very narrow verge almost at the Barnsley/Kirklees boundary.  Not well painted but in a very difficult place to work.  It is Grade II listed 1314730.
