A little park at the wells, White Wells Road, Scholes

The pump base and well weren't photogenic; they could do with cleaning and tidying.

Houses with an unusual design, with arched entrances to the lower ground floor.

Millpond, Lee Mills, Scholes

This is now a fishing lake. I had hoped that there was a path alongside it to the bottom end of St George's Road but the gate was locked, with a Keep Out sign. The heron that I saw had no such problems.

Grass and trees, Wickleden Gate, Scholes

It is good that three mature trees have been spared and a grass are created for them. These trees were on an old field boundary, so were probably hedgerow trees. there was a small mill dam behind them.

Old milestone

The 1893/94 West Riding CC milestone on the A616 in Hepworth becomes more desperate for a repaint as years roll by. It is on a narrow verge on a sharp bend, Sheffield Road, Hepworth. Eight milestones were commissioned for the New Mill District of the Sheffield to Huddersfield route, 7 are still in situ. This one is Grade II listed 1134817.

Old milestone

Where space on a road or path was limited, Brayshaw and Booth of Liversedge made flat castings for the West Riding CC instead of protruding ones. This one is on the A616 Sheffield Road, New Mill opposite No. 30 Fulstone. When a town name had more than 10 letters the name had to be cast at an angle as with Huddersfield. Then Sheffield was cast the same way to match. The foundry name on these flat plates is always at the top of the left-hand side. This milestone is Grade II listed 1228473.
