Old milepost on the A61
This post is just north of the Barnsley (South Yorkshire) boundary with Wakefield (West Yorkshire). It overlooks Barnsley Municipal Golf Course. It had been neglected for very many years but now, March 2021, has several coats of protective paint inside and out applied by the photographer. It is on the 21 mile Wakefield to Sheffield Turnpike first enacted in 1758. It is Grade II listed.
