Old milestone The route between Barnsley, Shepley Lane Head and Holmfirth was never turnpiked. So before County Councils erected milestones in the late 19C/early 20C simple stones would have been set up at junctions to guide travellers. This stone is at the junction of the A635 with North Lane which meanders towards Penistone. It is thought that it was originally inscribed with Penistone, Barnsley and Huddersfield. Although painted in 2015 it is under a large tree hence the green mould. On the day of this picture it was covered with an advertising hoarding, taken off and replaced.

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.
