Barnsley Road, BARNSLEY, S75 4HW

A splendid village pub in a pleasant setting which is good for proper cask - conditioned beers, carefully prepared food, and jazz once a month.

Note also the well-maintained milepost in the left foreground.

Carved stone post by the UC road, in parish of Cawthorne (Barnsley District), East end of Kirkfield Close, on inside corner of green, Church Street / Barnsley Road, on North side of road. Erected by an unknown authority in the 19th century. The partially defaced inscription reads:- : CAWTHORNE / - / PENISTONE / HUDDERSFIELD / {hand to right} / BARNSLEY / {hand to left} : : SILKSTONE / 1½ MILES / {hand to right} : Carved benchmark on mid right side. Grade II listed. List Entry Number: 1151777 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1151777 Milestone Society National ID: YS_BNHF04A.

At the junction with the A635, note the smiling rat topiary.

This stone set up on the green in Cawthorne had the mileages to Huddersfield and Barnsley defaced, possibly because of the 1940 wartime Government instructions. It was also buried but found during pipe laying works. It was painted in 2015 by a professional painter and decorator who said how difficult it was to paint the legends and hands. It makes a fine feature on the green. It may date from the 19C and is Grade II listed 1151777.

This is the back of the old milestone on the green in Cawthorne. Only the two 'front' faces have legends. Buried in 1940 for the war effort, found again in 1986. Cleaned and reerected at its original site. Last painted 2015 Grade II listed 1151777 Milestone Society ID - YS_BNHF04A

Spencer Arms pub in the background.

Situated on Church Street at the very northern edge of the square. My only recollection of this pub is vague due to arriving here in a completely hammered state following a solo-pinballing pub-walk on May Day 2006.
