This 1893/94 milestone does disappear into the vegetation in summer. It is almost opposite the gate into Kilnhurst church on the B6090, Wentworth Road, just west of Highthorn Road. 615 of these milestones were set up for the WRCC in 12 months by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead, stonemasons, of Mirfield. In the contract, 5 were to be set up on this route, Wentworth 2 is missing but the other 4 are still in place. It is Grade II listed 1286622.
