Guide stone on King Lane, Alwoodley
This is on an old crossroads, shown on Thomas Jeffreys's map of Yorkshire, 1771. The inscribed date is probably 1764. The 1850 six-inch map does not show the stone, and the late 19C 1:2500 map shows'GP', which is probably a tall finger-post rather than this stone. However it is in the correct position for the destinations shown.

Old guidestone
This dated guidestone/milestone is set up in Alwoodley at the corner of King Lane and Alwoodley Lane. The little garden surrounding it has been tended by locals for over 40 years. The front is inscribed JB/1764/To Leedes/4M hand pointing right/To Otley/5M/hand pointing left. The right side has 1921/GD (or perhaps GB). The hands are upside down with the thumb pointing down. (Try that). The GD or GB may be for Geoffrey Bingley a photographer in the 1920s.

Old guidestone
This shows the inscription on the left face of the Alwoodley guidestone/milestone. To York/20M/hand pointing left/To/Wether/by/9M. The JB and date on the front may be for John Broadbent, a local farmer, who it is said erected the stone. The miles stated are 'Customary' miles usually longer than the now 'Standard' miles. In the 1920s/30s National Benzole issued two volumes of milestone sketches and pictures. This milestone features in the first volume and shows a benchmark on the front which may now be at soil level.

Leeds, 15 Alwoodley Lane
According to the OS benchmark database there is a benchmark cut into the north-east face of the house. The location couldn't be seen from the roadside because of garden shrubs. It is unknown if the cutmark survives.
