A view southwards towards the A63 through Garforth. Now that the hedge has been replaced by a fence the milestone is more obvious. When erected, the backing stone for this type of milestone was not painted. Over the years some have been painted black or white. There is a hole in the top of this stone which may be an OS benchmark position.
