Milestones are fast disappearing: some were removed or defaced in World War 2 so that German invading forces could not navigate around the country side using the stones. Many more have been demolished as roads have been widened, or have been damaged by grass-cutters, collision damage with vehicles or sadly through vandalism or theft.
The milestones on this page are all listed on the website but are no longer in situ and may have been stolen. Any further information would be welcomed.
Huddersfield: grid ref SE 1265 1805; the 1½ mile Huddersfield "to and from" on Halifax Rd (A629) outside Banney Royd.
