IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Crosland Fold, HUDDERSFIELD, HD3 3QH

This dealership has moved from Copley.

Is this one of Dr Who's portals, or is there an EU directive about toilet facilities for farm-workers, or perhaps farm animals? I have been informed that it is used during sheepdog trials that are regularly held in the field.

The milestone is located on the south side of the road, opposite the Wappy Spring public house. Metal plate attached to stone post, WR casting design. It was erected by Huddersfield Council in 2021 as a replacement for the original milestone that was removed when nearby land was redeveloped. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6772134.

Metal plate attached to stone post by the A643, in parish of KIRKLEES (KIRKLEES District), Lindley Moor Road; opposite Wappy Spring PH, by the road, on South side of road. Brayshaw & Booth iron casting, erected by the County Council in the 19th century. No longer visible on Streetview in 2019 - now wide entrance to industrial unit.

The rusty West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94, opposite the Wappy Spring PH on the A643 was removed when nearby land was developed. Despite numerous enquiries it was not found. In 2019 a new casting was commissioned by Kirklees Council from the Hargreaves foundry in Halifax. In early 2021 it was set up, attached to a new backing stone, at the original site. The foundry name and date of casting is on the bevel.

This will be a warehouse for Lesjofors Springs Ltd, who are moving from Lowfields Business Park in Elland. Browsing their website I found this article about the involvement of one of the group companies in the Bloodhound land speed record attempt scheduled for October 2017. http://www.lesjoforsab.com/news/news_detail.asp?sprakid=2 The target speed is 1000 mph!

Municipal Boundary Marker by the A643, in parish of Lindley (Kirklees District), Peat Ponds Farm, Lindley Moor Road, against the farmhouse wall. N.B. The area has been developed for industrial use since 2016, but on Streetview 2019 the stone appears to have been preserved. Inscription reads:- DIVISION OF LINDLEY AND OLD LINDLEY Grade II listed. List Entry Number: 1134956 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1134956 Surveyed Milestone Society National ID: YW_LIND01pb.

The boundary stone in the other photo is against the wall opposite the first tree on the right. Although Old Lindley is now mostly in Calderdale district, a strip of land including the main road was given to Huddersfield many years ago and this scene is now all in Kirklees district.
