Just to the north of the town centre this stone from the 1768-1876 Huddersfield to Woodhead turnpike road is in a small lay-by. Painted a few years ago it now needs a good wash. The rest of the stones towards the top of Holme Moss, 7, 8, 9 AD 10 are in place and well painted. In 2011 the Huddersfield 4 and 5 stones were also by the roadside.
