Trans Pennine Trail I'd forgotten the location of this image, luckily the council had kindly marked it on top of the signpost.

Trans Pennine Trail I'll be honest, I couldn't remember exactly where this image was taken but I'm sure the locations given aren't too far out, it was near Thurlstone or Millhouse Green.

This section of the Trans Pennine Trail follows follows an old railway line coming through Penistone - I believe it went to Manchester but again would need checking.

Old milestone One of the 615 milestones erected by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield for the West Riding County Council in 1893/94.   On this route 13 milestones were specified with 7 still in situ although one has lost its attachment.   This one was painted by the Peak District National Park in 2004 and again in 2019 but it is not easy to stop nearby for a newer photograph.  The attachments were cast by Brayshaw & Booth of Liversedge and that is cast on the bevel.  It is Grade II listed 1191551.

Old milestone All that is left of the West Riding CC milestone, dated 1893/94, at the west end of Langsett opposite Gilbert Hill.   A sunken stone having lost its metal protruding attachment.   HUDDERSFIELD/12½ MILES/HOLMFIRTH/7 MILES were on the left face.  On the right SHEFFIELD/14 MILES.   On the top WADSLEY LANGSETT/&/SHEFFIELD/ROAD/LANGSETT.   It is only 0.67 of a mile from Sheffield 13.   It should be at SE20620055.   On David & Charles map 1843 there is a milestone at that location.
