Standing Stone, Stones Lane, Todmorden 6th January 2021

Came across a fine photo of this stone by Andrew Caveney in the book: Calderdale Architecture and History. The book written in the 1980s by Alan Betteridge, Derek Bridge and Peter Thornborrow is a gem for its quality and accuracy. The photos are outstanding. Looking at the book I am learning much about the art of photography.

According to the book this is a prehistoric monolith of Kinderscout gritstone. It is 12 foot high - there is a smaller stone close by with which it is alignment so they may have had some ritual / astronomical significance.
