Old milepost This milepost at the busy traffic lights cross-roads on the A61 out of Barnsley was painted in 2016.  It is from the Wakefield to Sheffield turnpike first enacted in 1758.   There are only 2 posts remaining north of Barnsley and 5 (including one in the park at Firth Park) on the way to Sheffield.    The two north of Barnsley are a different style to the ones on the Sheffield route.   A visit to clean the post and redo the legends is needed.  This post is Grade II listed 1192299.

Old milestone Since this milestone was last photographed, the entrance into the Wentworth Castle estate on Rockley Lane leading to Queen Anne's Obelisk has been tarmacked.   Fortunately the legend on the milestone, 1/Mile, is still visible and the tarmac will keep the weeds at bay.  Wentworth Castle was built between 1711-1764 for Willian Wentworth, the Earl of Strafford.
