| A well-looked after stone, one of many in the attractive village of Cawthorne, near Barnsley. Note the horizontal lettering. Grid Reference: SE National ID: |
All the Brayshaw & Booth stones in the Saddleworth district, near Oldham, have recently been restored. Note the use of the old "mere" names (the four divisions of the township). Grid Reference: SE National ID: |
Just outside Holmfirth, an interesting variant on the usual painting scheme. Here the letting is on a slant. Grid Reference: SE National ID: |

| An example of the wider flat stones used where the road was narrow, on the now perfectly wide enough road out of Elland towards Huddersfield. Also recently raised and restored. Grid Reference: SE National ID: |
The Brayshaw and Booth name is clearly visible on this otherwise somewhat rusty stone at Lepton, near Huddersfield. Grid Reference: SE National ID: |
A stone that has lost its iron plate, showing the Steads' workmanship. This is on the A670 in Saddleworth, near the boundary with Mossley. Grid Reference: SE National ID: |
