Old milestone

One of the 615 milestones erected in 1893/94 for the newly formed West Riding Council Council. Over half are still in situ from south of Rotherham, over the Pennines into Saddleworth, north to Sedbergh and eastwards to Boroughbridge and York. Many of the attachments were cast by Brayshaw & Booth of Liversedge. Their name is on the bevel. This one on the B6089 opposite Warren House Cottages disappears into vegetation in the summer. It is Grade II listed 1132776.

Old milestone

This West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94 is on the B6092 near Abdy Lane which leads to Wath Golf Course. In the contract awarded to Gill & Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield to erect 615 WRCC milestones, six were specified for this route. This was the first, the next three are now missing with Wentworth 7½ & 8½ still in place. When the castings were made at the Brayshaw & Booth foundry in Liversedge they had a lot of information to include. The mileage to Swinton hidden in the dead leaves is 1½ miles. It is Grade II listed 1132778.

Blackamore

These four cottages stand alone on Blackamore Road, Swinton (B6092). There is a Blackamore Inn Plantation behind the camera but there is no evidence of an inn anywhere near.

Birchcliff Bank

The term "Bank" is rather strange for a woodland in a deep narrow valley. It's probably because somewhere in the wood is a part of the Roman Ridge earthworks which abound around here.
