On the east side of the road near a pair of cream coloured semis at Holden Gate is this chunky milestone, the only one of this size around Todmorden. After about another ½ mile the A681 leaves Yorkshire and enters Lancashire. There is a defaced bench mark at the base. In 2002 it was found leaning and in need of a coat of paint. In 2004 it was set upright. Grade II listed 339003.
