The road towards Shepley Lane Head and Holmfirth used to wend its way through Cawthorne village. In the 20C a by-pass was built. Some years ago this stone was found buried, perhaps from the 1940 Government instructions, but set up and in 2015 was repainted. Although set into the pavement all the legends can be read. The herb robert makes an attractive addition. It is Grade II listed 1151767.
