Looking west along A62 Leeds Road towards the A644 junction after a shower of rain. Visiting dogs take advantage of this pavement feature! The legends are sloping because Huddersfield & Heckmonddwike are too long to fit neatly horizontally. When these milestones were set up the backing stone was left bare but many have been painted, white, black or grey as the years have passed.
