In 2011 this West Riding CC milestone was uprooted when the stone wall behind it was being rebuilt. It was reset about 2 metres from its original site on the A629 just north of the traffic light junction with the B6145. The distance to Halifax on the left-hand side is 5 MILES. There is a hole in the top of the stone which may be for an OS benchmark. it is Grade II listed 1133611.
