This milestone from the Wakefield-Barnsley-Sheffield tollroad first enacted in 1758 is on Cross Hill at Highgreave. It was painted in 2018 by the owner of the house behind it to his own colour scheme. It is just unfortunate that over many years the pavement level has been raised and now covers the bottom half of MILES on the Barnsley face.
