Dist:0.6km<br/>This is puzzling; Holmfirth is actually on the left and Austonley on the right. It was probably erected after Holmfirth Urban District was established in 1894, as before that the stone would have been inscribed 'Upperthong' instead of 'Holmfirth'. One clue is that the 1850 six-inch map shows t he boundary of a detached part of Austonley here, on the left as shown on the stone. I had assumed that the many enclaves in the Holme Valley of one township within the territory of another had been abolished during the local governmaent reorganisation of 1893, but perhaps this one remained. The maroon pole is a bus stop.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The subject GR is the field with the cow; beyond that is the hamlet of Hinchcliffe Mill, which looks to be worth exploring. The hillside opposite is in Austonley township, and has a maze of little lanes.
