The inscriptions read from the top left: "ELLAND AND SADDLEWORTH ROAD, GREETLAND OUTER DISTRICT: JUNCTION 10 MILES ROCHDALE 16 MILES" on the right side, and "ELLAND 2 1/2 MILES" below. The letters are in raised capitals and the mile stone was erected for the Barkisland and Elland Branch of the Huddersfield and New Hey Trust.
