One of the 615 West Riding CC milestones set up in 1893/94. The contract to erect these milestones was won by Gill and Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield. They had to be erected all over the old West Riding within 12 months and they achieved that. This one is at the end wall of Attorney Croft. a relatively new build. A few years ago a local painted many of these milestones in this area. The mileage to Holmfirth on the right hand side is ¾ Mile.
