Old milestone
At the top of Jerry Lane at the junction of Quarry Hill and Haugh End Lane is this old stone set against the wall of St George's churchyard. The faint hand pointing left for Elland down Jerry Lane may signify an old route via Greetland not the current main road that is used today. WB Crump, Sowerby Highways, Trans Halifax Antiquarian Society 1928, P12 refers to repairs to this road in the 17C. This stone is Grade II listed 339221

Guide stone at the top of Jerry Lane
This is inscribed: 'Elland 4 M (hand pointing left) Sowerby (hand pointing right). It is interesting in that it shows that Jerry Lane was part of the route from Sowerby to Elland, possibly continuing over Watson Mill Bridge. The route to Halifax via Quarry Hill and Sowerby Bridge is not indicated (unless I missed and inscription on the side of the stone) but is implied by the position of the stone.

The former St George's church, Sowerby - burial ground
The former churchyard on Haugh End Lane was closed to burials by Order in Council in 1990, shortly after the church itself was closed for worship. It is very overgrown.
