Old milestone A closer view of the WRCC milestone that was set up in 1893/94.    The metal attachments on these milestones in this area were cast at the foundry of Brayshaw and Booth of Liversedge.  Altough not painted, raised lettering can just be made out on the bevel.

Floodlights being prepared to help prevent floods There is a leak suspected on the Bilberry Reservoir dam below here and this was apparently the nearest point transport could drop off floodlights to illuminate the intended investigation and repair work. A long way to push them down the hill, but rather worse when they have to come back up!
