It is officially 127 miles long and flows from the inland woollen town of Leeds to the coastal sea port of Liverpool, crossing the Pennines along the way.
At this point the milepost is 12.25 miles from the start at Leeds and 115 miles from the port of Liverpool.
Somehow it’s gained an extra ¼ mile in length.
This milestone is near railway bridge GUE2-1
