Old milestone A view across the A629 in Shepley.   The milestone has been painted recently.   But in the distance the two masts of Emley Moor Transmitter.  The shorter one was a replacement for the original which collapsed from the weight of snow in 1963.   Now that needs repairs and alterations so the thinner structure has been set up beside it.
