GOLCAR
Aug 30 2008 | Express and Chronicle
Highways and Waymarks of West Yorkshire were described to the Huddersfield Group of the Institute of Advanced Motorists by guest Jan Scrine at Golcar British Legion Club. week. She showed an old milestone from Booth Banks, Slaithwaite called the Dyall Stone, now positioned at the Manor House in Slaithwaite. In 1555 an Act was passed for townships to look after roads. The milestone at Blacksmiths Arms Kirkheaton was recently repaired and re-sited to avoid further damage. The Farnley Tyas Stoop is unusual in that it is classed as a listed building! By 1840 toll booths or ‘talbarts’ were introduced to help improve the road infrastructure. Shortly after they started using finger posts as these were easier to construct and follow, they were also cheaper than the stone mileposts. Further information on this subject can be found at www.yorkshiremilestones.co.uk or www.milestone-society.co.uk, which is the society’s web site. This month saw Tom Castleton pass his Advanced Driving Test, with guidance from Stuart Priestley. The next group meeting next Monday at The Royal British Legion Club, Scar Lane, Golcar (7.30pm for 8pm) will feature an IAM examiner as guest speaker. All welcome. Anyone interested in advanced driving should contact Lionel Holmes on 01484-655068. Read
