MILESTONE

There is a milestone positioned under the wall of the old Vicarage on Ogden Lane which shows that the road was a branch of the Huddersfield & New Hey Turnpike, provided for in an Act of 1806. The main section of the road is now the A640 from Huddersfield through Salendine Nook, Outlane, Buckstones and out to New Hey in Lancashire. The Rastrick branch arrived in the same year, travelling to Brighouse from Lindley Moor. Both roads were given the name of New Hey Road. The milestone is a Grade 2 listed building which means that it is a building or structure that is ‘of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve it.’ It is an 1893 Brayshaw & Booth cast iron replacement for the original. The Huddersfield & New Hey Trust was dissolved in 1874.
