On Barnsley Road in Hemsworth. This post has been painted since the photograph taken in 2012. The 5 and 6 mile posts now in South Yorkshire have the town names in full. The remaining posts on the way to Pontefract which are now in West Yorkshire have the town names abbreviated. The whole length of the road was in the West Riding but these posts probably predate the formation of the County Councils in the late 19C.
