Old milestone

On the A628 approaching Penistone this 'listed' milestone from the 32 mile long Doncaster to Saltersbrook turnpike is next to the bus-stop. A new town sign has recently been erected close by. Repainted in 2016, it would now benefit from a good wash down to remove dirt thrown up by passing lorries and other heavy traffic.

Old milestone

This milestone is on the south side of the road on the one way system down Church Street in Penistone. It is under a large tree and must have been painted very many years ago judging by the remnants of white paint. It is similar to the old stone SK3099 : Old milestone down the passageway in Wortley, but slightly wider. It is another stone for the benchmark enthusiasts. Milestone Society National ID: YS_SFPN13

Old milestone

The tollroad from Huddersfield to Penistone leaves West Yorkshire just north of Ingbirchworth on the A629. It enters South Yorkshire and dips down into the town on the B6462, still called Huddersfield Road. This original tollroad stone 12 miles from Huddersfield is at the top of the hill above the Grammar School. Grade II listed 1315077.

Old milestone

The pre-turnpike era milestone on Huddersfield Road, B6462, can just be seen in the wall almost opposite the second spot of sunshine. The eroded legends are LONDON/177/Miles/Huddersfield/12/Penistone/1½ (6044122). However the turnpike milestone a little further north (7226692) has the legends Huddersfield 12, Penistone ½ so the datum points in Penistone are different. The end stone is a memorial stone.

Memorial stone

The memorial stone on Huddersfield Road, B6462, is to Joseph son of William and Margaret ? late of BRYNMAWR. A connection to Penistone or the stone transported from Wales for some reason.
