Old milestone

In March 2018 this milestone on the Tinsley to Doncaster tollroad (1764 -1873), now A6178, was the only one of the 5 remaining posts to have retained its plate.

Old milestone

During the summer of 2018 the pavement was relayed and the plate disappeared from the stone. The 'authorities' were questioned and the plate was to be put back. It hasn't happened. But the stone remains by the side of Deadman's Hole Lane.

Old milestone

In the contract between the West Riding County Council and Gill & Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield, six of these milestones were to be erected from this one on the A629, Wortley Road, in Kimberworth to where the route meets the Sheffield to Penistone road, A61. Rotherham 3 & 4 are now missing with 5, 6 and 7 still in situ. They were set up in 1893/94.

Bears of Sheffield: #52 Flora

#52 of 61 big bear sculptures, this one was decorated by Laura Slater and is located in Meadowhall Shopping Centre. Laura’s Bear design was based on interpreting aspects of the Sheffield Peak District, observing shape, texture and composition inspired by the landscape. Her chosen colour palette references shades and accent colours found in ordnance survey maps.
