Description

Milepost located on the north side of Hob Cote Lane in Oakworth, dating from the early to mid-19th century. It is made of cast iron and consists of two pieces bolted together to form a triangular sectioned, pyramidal-topped post. The top part of the right section is missing. The left face is embossed with the inscription 'Keighley 3 miles', while the right face reads 'Colne 9 miles', each accompanied by a pointing hand.

Local climate

Milepost sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,100 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 53 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 31 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
