Old milestone
On the south side of the A58 at the west end of Sowerby Bridge, the top of the milestone just shows above tarmac pavement level. There is extensive old damage to the top. The inscribed legends which are mostly below the pavement would have been To Rochdale 13 Miles and To Halifax 3 Miles. The 21½ mile long Rochdale, Halifax and Ealand turnpike was first enacted in 1734 so the stones along this route probably date from the late 18C. This stone is not 'listed'
