This Huddersfield TO and FROM milestone is on Longwood Gate near the entrance to Longwood Grange with the church nearby. The road is narrow and the stone has suffered damage to its front edge over the years. FROM/HUDDERSFIELD/2½/MILES is on the left face as the traveller in the Hansom Cab would be leaving the town centre on this route. TO is just visible on the right face of this late 19C stone set up to regulate the Hansom Cab Fare-stages.
