Old milestone At the southern end of Wortley there is a passage by No.3 just before the corner where the church is in Wortley. This leads down some steps and onto the path to Finkle Street.   When searched for in 2022 this stone was totally covered in ivy.  It is probably an original milestone from the Sheffield to Penistone road.  The legend is gradually eroding away.   One stone for the benchmark enthusiasts.

Old milestone This milestone is at the back of a narrow verge but road debris thrown up has chipped the paint.  It also gets very overgrown with vegetation including nettles so that has to be cleared occasionally.   It is Grade II listed 1192552.
