Old milepost This post at the north end of Brierley was completely refurbished in February 2019. Many hours were spent removing all the old paint with various protective coats applied. But it is only 70cm from the edge of this busy road and grit and stones thrown up by passing traffic have taken their toll. It is the only post along this route which has the foundry name, John Lees &amp; Sons, Grove Foundry, Gomersal, Nr Leeds. It is Grade II Listed 1314993. — Old milepost Credit: Chris Minto
