This shows the left face of the milestone on the west side of Otley Road, Tong Park, Baildon. The stone stands above the pavement at the entrances to commercial properties. It is kept well painted by the Baildon Local History Society but is ready for a 'haircut'! It may have been set up at the beginning of the 19C by the Kirkstall, Otley, Shipley Turnpike Trust. It is Grade II listed.
