Old WRCC milestone At the top of the grassy banking in front of a stone house, this milestone was repainted in 2018.  It is on the south side of the B6106 on a bend in the road.   The metal attachment on these stones is 100cm high but there will be a further 20cms of backing stone under soil level.   This attachment was forged at the Brayshaw and Booth foundry in Liversedge.

Old milestone In 2017 this West Riding CC milestone from 1893/94 had lost most of its paint.   It is not known who has painted it but it certainly looks much smarter.   It is nearly opposite Gate Head Lane and Gatehead Methodist Chapel which on the day of this photo was 'SOLD'. After passing the milestone going southwards there is a sharp left bend and a short distance up the road is a tollhouse from the Wadsley and Langsett, Holmfirth District, turnpike first enacted in 1823, closed in 1879.  The milestone is Grade II listed 1191204.

Old milestone This, once sad looking, sunken milestone at Crow Edge had, in 2017 been dug out and the wall behind it repaired.   It is one of the 615 milestones erected in 1893/94 by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead of Mirfield for the newly-formed West Riding County Council.  Over half are still to be found by the roadside all over the old West Riding.   This one has been smartly painted in a similar pattern to several others in this part of Yorkshire.
