Netherthong Road, Meltham
This is the old road, dropping steeply to the bridge over Thick Hollins Dike on its way to Meltham town. The road to the right is not quite as steep, and the lower section is called Coach Road, indicating that it was constructed as a safer route for wheeled vehicles, perhaps in the early 19C.

Old milestone
This is one of three remaining roadside guidestones/milestones in the West Yorkshire area of the Dark Peak. A fourth is in the Tolson Museum, Huddersfield. It is at the SE corner of Wilshaw Road (B6107) with Thick Hollins Road. On the right-hand face Penist/11 Mile can just be made out. On the back a faint Holmfirth/2 Miles. In 'Huddersfield Highways Down the Ages' by WB Crump (1949) a sketch shows the date 1761 on the Holmfirth face. When first recorded for the Milestone Society in 2002 it was leaning considerably but by 2005 had been set upright.
