Description

RYLSTONE B6265 SD 9658-9758 (west side) 15/70 Guide stone at junction with Raikes Lane. GV II Marker stone. Probably 1853. Gritstone. Approximately 50 centimetres high, deeply bedded into the ground, triangular in section with ridged top. The left face has "SKIPTON/THRESHFIELD" in incised lettering, and a painted pointing hand, the right face has "HETTON" incised; the two faces are painted white with black details. After a period of little use the Grassington to Skipton road became busy again in the mid C19 when there was an expansion of the Skipton cattle and corn markets. The Cracoe to Skipton section was realigned and made into a turnpike in 1853. A. Raistrick, Old Yorkshire Dales, 1967, p120.
