This West Riding CC milestone stands at the east end of Copmanthorpe. This road was once the main road now by-passed on the other side of a high wooden fence. These milestones were set up by the family firm of Gill Stead and Son of Mirfield. The backing stone had to be from a quarry in Kirstall (Leeds) or of a similar quality. Image]
