Old milestone This section of the road from Addingham to Blackburn (in Lancashire), is now in North Yorkshire but was, when these milestones were set up in 1893/94 part of the extensive West Riding. The milestone is on the south side of Colne Road in Glusburn. Over the years the pavement has been built up, hiding the mileage to Ilkley which is 10¼ miles. It is painted occasionally.
