Old milestone
Looking towards Huddersfield the 16cm deep backing stone is seen. When set up the West Riding milestones were to be painted blue with white lettering. The stone would be left bare as it was good quality from Kirkstall quarry or of a similar standard from elsewhere. It is not known when these milestones began to be painted white with black lettering. And sometimes the stone was painted like this one, or left bare.
