On the A62, Manchester Road, just west of the railway viaduct. One of about 30 original stones set up by the Town Watch Committee on many roads leading out of Huddersfield. These stones were to regulate the Hansom Cab Fare-stages. This one was defaced but is a 1 mile stone. Left face- FROM/HUDD/(HUDDERSFIELD)/(1)/MILE. Right face - FROM/HUDD/(HUDDERSFIELD)/(1)/MILE. The smaller HUDD on each face is a later addition.
