The 1893/94 West Riding CC milestone on the A616 in Hepworth becomes more desperate for a repaint as years roll by. It is on a narrow verge on a sharp bend, Sheffield Road, Hepworth. Eight milestones were commissioned for the New Mill District of the Sheffield to Huddersfield route, 7 are still in situ. This one is Grade II listed 1134817.
