This West Riding CC milestone is on Manchester Road at Lingards Wood on the outskirts of Marsden. It is opposite The Olive Branch PH. It was stripped of what paint was left on it in the summer of 2014 before being repainted. It is very near the edge of the road so does suffer road splash. There is a complete set of these milestones from Huddersfield 2 to 7 but no more until climbing over the summit and down the hill into Saddleworth where Huddersfield 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15 still survive although not all intact. This milestone is Grade II listed 1217291.
