Old milestone
Another of the late 19C West Riding CC milestones in Saddleworth. Until the 1970s this area was in the West Riding of Yorkshire but now is Greater Manchester. Although painted in 2010 the years of passing traffic have taken its toll, so now very rusty as well as ivy covered.

Old milestone
Some of the ivy removed from the West Riding CC late 19C milestone on A670 Mossley Road in Saddleworth. The white paint from 2010 has not survived but the black-painted legends are still clearly read. The right face has mileages to Manchester (11 miles), Ashton (4¾) and Mossley (1¼). The attachment was cast at the Brayshaw & Booth foundry in Liversedge and the milestone set up by the family firm of Gill Stead and Son of Mirfield.
