Many of the stone milestones around Todmorden were painted in 2010. Nearly 17 miles of roads around the town were turnpiked in 1771. This stone on the A646 Burnley Road near the entrance to Scaitcliffe Hall has had its white paint washed away by rain with just the black lettering remaining in 2020. It is Grade II listed 339043.
