Some of the ivy removed from the West Riding CC late 19C milestone on A670 Mossley Road in Saddleworth. The white paint from 2010 has not survived but the black-painted legends are still clearly read. The right face has mileages to Manchester (11 miles), Ashton (4¾) and Mossley (1¼). The attachment was cast at the Brayshaw & Booth foundry in Liversedge and the milestone set up by the family firm of Gill Stead and Son of Mirfield. Milestone Society National ID: YW_SRAS04a
