This shows how high the milestone on the A646 in Luddendenfoot is set in the wall. There are several others of this design on this road towards Todmorden, also on Rochdale Road A6033 southwards and Burnley Road A646 northwest out of Todmorden. They may have been set up by the Todmorden Trust which was set up in 1771 and covered 16.8 miles or the Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, Todmorden Trust of 1760. There is faint cut benchmark on the stone below the milestone. Grade II listed 1134554.
