Old milepost This milepost from the Barnsley to Pontefract tollroad is near the bus stop on the A628 in Ackworth just north of the roundabout with the A638. It is known that it was painted in 2005.  Most of the mileposts on this route do not have a backing stone so this one, larger than the casting, is probably a 20C addition.  This post is the only one of those remaining that is not 'Listed'.

Old milepost This very dilapidated metal milepost is on a very narrow verge on Pontefract Road, High Ackworth.  It was at the entrance to a Garden Centre but this is now a gated set of houses.  The faint outlines of raised legends can just be made out on the post.  It is Grade II Listed 1135473.
