This West Riding CC milestone was to be set on the opposite side of the road to Huddersfield 13 and 14 so the place names are forged on opposite faces. In this area always a lot to fit in on the upper section though. Austerlands must have been the limit of the West Riding in 1893/94 as this is the furthest west of the milestones on the Wakefield/Huddersfield/Oldham route.
