Old milestone At the southern end of Wortley there is a passage by No.3 just before the corner where the church is in Wortley. This leads down some steps and onto the path to Finkle Street. When searched for in 2022 this stone was totally covered in ivy. It is probably an original milestone from the Sheffield to Penistone road. The legend is gradually eroding away. One stone for the benchmark enthusiasts.

Old milestone This milestone in the lay-by was last painted in 2017 although the lettering and a few rust spots now need touching up. Perhaps the snail eats paint! It is Grade II listed 1151055.
