Old milestone This West Riding County Council milestone set up in 1893/94 is now just on the Lancashire border.  The grass had to be trampled down to reveal the milestone and it also revealed a discarded NHS crutch!  It is on the north side of the A6068 Colne Road/Keighley Road near the bus-stop.  This left face has mileages to Keighley, Addingham and Ilkley with Colne and Burnley on the right-hand side.  With Cowling on the header it is possible that there has been a slight change to the boundary since the late 19C.
