This is at the junction of Clifton Common, Highmoor Lane (both A643) and Towngate. When W B Crump wrote 'Huddersfield highways down the ages' in 1949 there was a guidestone, dates 1787, at this junction. The directions are: Leeds 11 miles, Elland 4 miles and Barnsley 20 miles. It is interesting that the road through Clifton village led to Barnsley. The route would be via Cooper Bridge, Colne Bridge, Grange Moor and Flockton.
