Trans Pennine Trail I'd forgotten the location of this image, luckily the council had kindly marked it on top of the signpost.

Trans Pennine Trail I'll be honest, I couldn't remember exactly where this image was taken but I'm sure the locations given aren't too far out, it was near Thurlstone or Millhouse Green.

This section of the Trans Pennine Trail follows follows an old railway line coming through Penistone - I believe it went to Manchester but again would need checking.

Thurlstone, Nicholas Saunderson One of the famous men of Thurlstone, Nicholas Saunderson, this is a plaque on the side of the house he lived at.

Born in 1682 and blinded by small pox aged one, Saunderson went on to be a brilliant mathematician, scientist and teacher, and because he was blind he had to find alternative ways to work out arithmatic so developed a board with holes that he used and improved throughout his life.

To give you an idea of his stature and abilities, he held the same position - Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge - as Steven Hawking and Isaac Newton.

Old milestone This milestone in Thurlstone was painted white in 2016 with the crude legends picked out in black.    So very near the edge of this busy road, rain, snow and passing traffic splash have taken their toll.  It is Grade II listed 1191928.

Old milestone One of the 615 milestones erected by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield for the West Riding County Council in 1893/94.   On this route 13 milestones were specified with 7 still in situ although one has lost its attachment.   This one was painted by the Peak District National Park in 2004 and again in 2019 but it is not easy to stop nearby for a newer photograph.  The attachments were cast by Brayshaw & Booth of Liversedge and that is cast on the bevel.  It is Grade II listed 1191551.
