A Spring view of the turnpike milestone on the B6113 Greetland Road. Link 6745461. This route was part of the Rochdale, Halifax & Ealand (Elland) tollroad first enacted in 1734. This milestone on the B6113 is a similar shape to those on the A58 between Halifax and Rochdale. It is unknown why the place name on this face has been ground off at some time in its history and later ROCHDALE painted on. Grade II listed 1231255
