This dated guidestone/milestone is set up in Alwoodley at the corner of King Lane and Alwoodley Lane. The little garden surrounding it has been tended by locals for over 40 years. The front is inscribed JB/1764/To Leedes/4M hand pointing right/To Otley/5M/hand pointing left. The right side has 1921/GD (or perhaps GB). The hands are upside down with the thumb pointing down. (Try that). The GD or GB may be for Geoffrey Bingley a photographer in the 1920s.
