Old milestones & boundary stones
On the upstream parapet of the bridge over Oldhay Brook on the A621 Abbeydale Road/Baslow Road, four of the stones are inscibed. In this photograph the lettering is on the second, third, fourth and sixth stones shown.
Old milestone
On the bridge over Oldhay Brook, the parapet stone nearest Sheffield is inscribed SHEFFIELD/5 MILES.
Old boundary stone
Travelling away from Sheffield the stone next to one with the Sheffield mileage is inscribed PARISH OF/DORE.
Old boundary stone
To the left of the Dore Parish stone is the one for the Parish of Totley. It is inscribed PARISH OF/TOTLEY. Some of the lettering can be made out.
Old milestone
The most southerly of the inscribed parapet stones on Oldhay Brook bridge is inscribed BAKEWELL/11 MILES. There is a plain stone between this one and the Parish of Totley stone. It seems as if the Bakewell stone was broken at one time and a new piece inserted. BAKEWELL has only one L and the inscription is not set central on the stone.

Old milepost
On the A621, Baslow Road, Totley this milepost becomes more and more neglected. It is in a very vulnerable position opposite houses that often have parked cars making the road narrower. The foundry name is down the front spine DARWIN & CO SHEFFIELD. Their name is also seen on gully grates and doubtless they cast other products. There was a Sheffield, Baslow, Owler Bar turnpike that lasted from 1803 to 1880 so this post may date from the middle to late 19C.

Bear at the bottom of Taylor's Hill
I suspect that the rustic model of a bear has been placed here for decorative purposes by the owners of nearby Hallfield Farm.
