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 milepost

The last of the metal posts still in situ between Thurgoland and Oxspsring on the old route from Sheffield to Penistone. 3½ years since it was painted, it has suffered from chippings thrown up by passing traffic and the black lettering has been washed off by the rain and splashes. Another visit with paint brushes needed.

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

Looking towards Oxspring, the village sign is at the dip in the road. This shows how close to the road edge this milestone is. Vegetation around it has been cleared. It is Grade II listed 1315034. Four complete milestones in this series remain by the road side with another partly broken one at SK 3299 9652.
