Old milestone

The West Riding CC milestone on the A656 just south of the traffic island junction with the A63 loses more paint as years pass by. It also needs uplifting. DONCASTER/21 MILES/PONTEFRACT/6¾ MILES/CASTLEFORD/3½ MILES on the left face is difficult to read or under soil level. Likewise BOROBRIDGE/23 MILES/WETHERBY/10¾ MILES/ABERFORD/3½ MILES on the right face.
