On the south side of the A646 in Charlestown this is one of the 3 similar shaped, vertical stones on roads radiating from Todmorden. In 2008 the stone was bare. In 2013 it was white all over but the legends were not picked out. In 2020 virtually all the paint has gone. The other side has the legend HALIFAX 8¾ MILES although the fraction is defaced. It is Grade II listed 338619
