The memorial stone on Huddersfield Road, B6462, is to Joseph son of William and Margaret ? late of BRYNMAWR. A connection to Penistone or the stone transported from Wales for some reason.

Recently opened this modern school building replaces the school that was a mish-mash of buildings just up the road. All that is left of the old school is the stone built block which is now boarded up awaiting redevelopment into apartments.

This is the new grammar school building which brings together all of the school into one building. It used to be housed in several separate buildings on this site.

The pre-turnpike era milestone on Huddersfield Road, B6462, can just be seen in the wall almost opposite the second spot of sunshine. The eroded legends are LONDON/177/Miles/Huddersfield/12/Penistone/1½ (6044122). However the turnpike milestone a little further north (7226692) has the legends Huddersfield 12, Penistone ½ so the datum points in Penistone are different. The end stone is a memorial stone.
