I see a couple of recent chips on the old stones Alan, nothing is safe is it. Great capture of this piece of heritage, they had to use chisels then to carve, I just love how they split the names up to fit them on, especially Todmorden. I always shout at the tv when they pronounce it like it is here. You know the BBC English "Tod - more - den. Why can't they say Tod like we do.lol. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

Markers like that wouldn't last long around here. Vandals would either get them one night or some drunken misfit would mow it down like weeds on the shoulder of the road. Great shot and a wonderful look into history.
