Old milepost

This milepost from the Barnsley to Pontefract tollroad is near the bus stop on the A628 in Ackworth just north of the roundabout with the A638. It is known that it was painted in 2005. Most of the mileposts on this route do not have a backing stone so this one, larger than the casting, is probably a 20C addition. This post is the only one of those remaining that is not 'Listed'.

Old milepost

This very dilapidated metal milepost is on a very narrow verge on Pontefract Road, High Ackworth. It was at the entrance to a Garden Centre but this is now a gated set of houses. The faint outlines of raised legends can just be made out on the post. It is Grade II Listed 1135473.

Old milestone

One of the three remaining plated milestones from the 11.7 miles Red House (north of Doncaster) to Crofton (east of Wakefield) tollroad first enacted in 1741. Although difficult to spot in summer as it is down a banking it is behind a British Telecom cover in the verge. When first found several years ago there was a crack in the top of the stone but it was repaired with cement and painted black. Now the lettering needs sprucing up. W 9 is below D 11. The plate is held on by two rivets.

The position of the milestone in relation to the British Telecom cover and the hill down and under the railway bridge. The hill down Doncaster Road towards Ackworth is steeper than it looks in this photograph.
