The pre-turnpike era milestone on Huddersfield Road, B6462, can just be seen in the wall almost opposite the second spot of sunshine. The eroded legends are LONDON/177/Miles/Huddersfield/12/Penistone/1½ (6044122). However the turnpike milestone a little further north (7226692) has the legends Huddersfield 12, Penistone ½ so the datum points in Penistone are different. The end stone is a memorial stone.
