This milepost is on a very narrow pavement on the A61 just north of the A629, Hallwood Road, junction. Someone has painted it recently but not been back to repaint the legend. On the remaining mileposts on this route the distance to Penistone has been ground off at some time. Maybe the wrong numbers were cast although another route from Thurgoland was developed in the early 20C.
