Old milestone
On the A635 from Shepley Lane Head down into New Mills and Holmfirth is a West Riding CC 19C milestone which is the last in the series east from Greenfield which used to be in Yorkshire. The tollroad from Greenfield to Shepley Lane Head was first enacted in 1823. The milestone is opposite Gate Foot Lane and a pub. This used to be the Crossroads PH then renamed Toss 'o Coin now derelict. This metal attachment has the name of the foundry on the bevel, Brayshaw & Booth/Makers/Liversedge. The stone is painted black. Grade II listed 1313617.
Old milestone
On a bend on the south side of the A635 between Holmfirth and New Mills is this 19C West Riding CC milestone. This area is called Wooldale and that name is on the top section. Left face - HOLMFIRTH/1 MILE, right face - DENBY/DALE/5¾ MILES/CAWTHORNE/9 MILES/BARNSLEY/13 MILES. The foundry name, BRAYSHAW & BOOTH/LIVERSEDGE is on the bevel. Grade II listed 1313589. It is in need of a clean and possible repaint.
Interior of St Andrew's church, Thongsbridge
For the outside of the church, see SE1409 : St Andrew's Church, Thongsbridge, Wooldale. This is the inside, looking liturgical west (geographically south-west).
The church was built in 1877 as a chapel of ease. A school was added in 1891. There was a burial ground opened in 1938 but it was never used for burials and was sold in 1988.
Note: the building was closed for worship in 2013 and sold to a private owner in 2020 (after this photo was taken) with planning permission for residential conversion, so is no longer publicly accessible. This view shows it as it had been as a place of worship.
Scholes Methodist Church, Wadman Road
This is the entrance doorway and a tall corner window.
A little park at the wells, White Wells Road, Scholes
The pump base and well weren't photogenic; they could do with cleaning and tidying.
Houses on Wickleton Gate, Scholes
Houses with an unusual design, with arched entrances to the lower ground floor.
Millpond, Lee Mills, Scholes
This is now a fishing lake. I had hoped that there was a path alongside it to the bottom end of St George's Road but the gate was locked, with a Keep Out sign. The heron that I saw had no such problems.
Grass and trees, Wickleden Gate, Scholes
It is good that three mature trees have been spared and a grass are created for them. These trees were on an old field boundary, so were probably hedgerow trees. there was a small mill dam behind them.
Old milestone
Where space on a road or path was limited, Brayshaw and Booth of Liversedge made flat castings for the West Riding CC instead of protruding ones. This one is on the A616 Sheffield Road, New Mill opposite No. 30 Fulstone. When a town name had more than 10 letters the name had to be cast at an angle as with Huddersfield. Then Sheffield was cast the same way to match. The foundry name on these flat plates is always at the top of the left-hand side. This milestone is Grade II listed 1228473.
Old Milestone, A616, Sheffield Road, New Mill
Opposite No 30 Fulstone. Located on the West side of road, opposite a terrace row, against stone wall. Metal plate attached to stone post, Brayshaw & Booth casting design, erected by Wadsley & Langsett - New Mill District turnpike trust, 19th century. An earlier photograph can be found here Link.
Inscription reads: HUDDERSFIELD / 6½ MILES :: SHEFFIELD / 20 MILES // NEW MILL DISTRICT / ROAD / FULSTONE :: BRAYSHAW & BOOTH / MAKERS / LIVERSEDGE
