This West Riding CC milestone erected in 1893/94 was on the Great North Road which went through Brotherton. That became the A1. Now by-passed it is the A162 towards Tadcaster. If a name with more than 10 letters had to be cast on these attachments, all the names would be set at an angle. This milestone is well-cared for.
