Old milestone
On Oldham Road south of Ripponden and opposite Rishworth School is the slightly sunken West Riding CC milestone dating from 1893/94. Although not painted, the name of the foundry, Brayshaw & Booth of Liversedge is on the bevel. The backing stone has been painted white but when set up it was left bare. According to the contract awarded to the family firm of Gill & Frank Stead of Mirfield the metal attachment was to be painted blue with white letters. It is not known when the specification changed to black letters on white. There is a hole in the top of the stone. It is Grade II listed 407306.
