Pots & Pans Monument & Greenfield
This war memorial was erected in 1923 to honour the 259 people from the villages of Saddleworth who died during the first world war and was located here specifically to be visible from the villages in the area. When plans were submitted for the war memorial there was much opposition from local people who wanted a memorial in the village rather than on top of a bleak hill.
Old milestone
This milestone is not quite like any of the other late 19C West Riding CC milestones so may be an early replacement. There is no raised edge to the top section and the lettering is a different style. It is on the A669 Chew Valley Road near St Mary's CE school. This area was once in the West Riding but now Greater Manchester.

A surprising find, Kinders Lane, Greenfield
The building on the left is Dolefield Barn while on the right is part of Fur Lane Farm with a building looking like a former weaver's cottage. The surprise was the green and red lump in the field. This is a steam powered hydraulic pumping engine by Henry Berry of Leeds. It is a horizontal twin tandem compound steam engine with four single acting hydraulic pumps straddling the Laird type crosshead guides on each side. It can apparently be run on compressed air. It was recovered from a scrapyard in the Doncaster area and has been named 'Proud Mary'. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the engine that was at Storey Brothers xylonite works at Cattawade in Suffolk and it is very tempting to think it is the same as it is such an unusual beast. This is the engine at Cattawade - TM1032 : Steam hydraulic pumping engine.

Old milestone
This West Riding CC milestone dated 1893/94 was painted in 2010 but not dug out. Now virtually all traces of paint except on the legends have been weathered away. Under ground level on the left face is BARNSLEY/23 MILES and on the right OLDHAM 5¾ MILES. This area was in the West Riding until 1974 when it was 'given away'. The milestone is Grade II listed.
