Hungerhill Plantations

Old milestone Another of the West Riding CC milestones at the northern end of Aberford on main Street near to Greystones Park. Even though it is 'Listed'(II 1135617) and is in a village it is very neglected. Many of the metal attachments for the original 615 WRCC milestones were cast at the Brayshaw & Booth Foundry in Liversedge and that is usually cast on the bevel. However the remaining posts on this route between Ferrybridge and Boroughbridge, the old A1, have a plain bevel so it is not known where they were cast.

Old milestone At the southern end of Aberford on the route of the Great North Road/A1, now unclassified, is this West Riding CC milestone.
