Old milestone

This mounting-block style milestone is found on several roads in the old East Riding of Yorkshire. The paint on the plate of this one which is on a minor road east of Weedley Farm entrance has deteriorated considerably. The edges of the plate are sealed with cementitious material. It probably dates from the late 19C following the formation of County Councils.

Sugar Loaf's Western Portal

This is an aerial view of the western portal of Sugar Loaf Tunnel on the old Hull and Barnsley Railway. The railway was closed in the late 50s. The brick-arched bridge, at the bottom of the photo, hasn't had sides on the top of it for many years from what I can remember. It would terrify me to walk over it! To the east of this 100m long tunnel, there was a very deep cutting that led to the much longer Drewton Tunnel's western portal. The cutting has virtually been filled in now with quarrying waste. That's a huge amount of material!

Boundary stone on the Yorkshire Wolds Way

This boundary stone stands close to the point where Rowley Footpath 14, Rowley Footpath 16 and Rowley Bridleway 11 meet at the junction of East Dale and Hunsley Dale. The S face bears the letter D, presumably for Drewton, and the other face is visible in an accompanying close-up photograph.

Old milestone

This step-stone milestone on the UC road just southeast of the entrance to Weedley continues to deteriorate with the legend on the metal plate hardly discernible. HULL/10/MILES. The plate is held on by a large bolt top centre and a smaller screw near the middle of the plate.

Looking towards Riplingham the milestone near Weedley Farm can be seen leaning backwards. The stone is 30cm deep from front to back, 64cm along the lower front and is 50 cm high.
