Winter pansies in the little garden surrounding this West Riding County Council milestone on the old Great North Road. 615 of these milestones were erected all over the old West Riding in 1893/94. 9 of the posts on the 29 miles between Ferrybridge and Boroughbridge can still be found on now minor roads once the main road.

Either side of the milestone and its surrounding small garden are planted areas spelling out, at the southern side, 2000+ ANGLO SCOTTISH. And to the north, seen here, TRADE ROUTE.

Old milestone
A photograph taken in 2018. The metal attachment of this West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94, is looking dirtier than ever. 615 milestones were set up all over the old West Riding, over half are still by the roadside.
Micklefield railway station, Yorkshire
Opened in 1834 by the Leeds & Selby Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway who rebuilt the original station in 1879.
View east towards South Milford and Selby (straight on), also Church Fenton and York (left). The 1835-built former warehouse can be seen on the left and just behind it, the 1873-built former station building, both now private residences. All the 1879 improvements including platform buildings and footbridge were removed some time after 1985. The current platform shelters replaced the ones shown in SE4432 : Micklefield railway station, Yorkshire, 2008, taken from the opposite direction from the Leeds-bound platform.
