Old milestone
Looking along the A642 road towards Oulton and Wakefield. A cut benchmark can be seen near the base of the stone. When these milestones were set up the stone was left bare but many have been given a coat of white or black paint during the last 130 years. There was a 12 mile long tollroad between Wakefield and Aberford first enacted in 1741 but no older milestones have been found and only 4 of the WRCC ones are still in situ.
