Old milestone The 4 mile from Rotherham milestone is on the west side of the A618 road. Unfortunately it is quite damaged with the protruding section lost and toppled over. It can just be seen in this photo if you look carefully.

Old milestone The photograph <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6126471">SK4587 : Old Milestone by the A618, near Ulley Reservoir</a> was taken by me in 2002 when Rotherham Council had recently painted all their milestones including this damaged one. Twenty years on, it has been pushed over, perhaps by the verge cutter and is now very rusty. Lack of roadside maintenance means it is hidden unless you know just where to search. The other 6 West Riding CC milestones on this 7 mile route to the Derbyshire border are all in reasonable condition.
