This flat West Riding CC milestone has been straightened up but not repainted. It is on Elland Road near a bend and opposite Brighouse Wood Lane. It is one of a few of these flat castings made at the Brayshaw and Booth foundry in Liversedge when the site was too narrow for the protruding attachment. The founders name can be seen above ELLAND on the lefthand side. The plate should be fastened to its own dedicated stone but that is lost. It is Grade II listed 338828.
