Another of the late 19C West Riding CC milestones in Saddleworth. Until the 1970s this area was in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now is Greater Manchester. Although painted in 2010 the years of passing traffic have taken its toll, so now very rusty as well as ivy covered. Milestone Society National ID: YW_SRAS04a
