milestone/milepost — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Freestanding triangular-profile cast-iron milestone, installed c.1890, having chamfered triangular top. Embossed inscriptions to top and sides.

This milestone is a notable feature of the roadside. Its triangular form and simple well-executed detailing make it instantly recognisable and legible to passers-by. It is a fine example of the well-designed, utilitarian objects which iron casting produced in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Milestones of this type are becoming increasingly rare with only a small number avoiding damage or removal.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
