Isn't it good to see these old milestones and old signposts still in situ,
today's signage is so bland,
you can imagine the work that had gone in to creating the boundary post Pete shows above..
Designed, all the preparation of making the casting box, the molten iron then the cooling and filing down the edges..
taking it to its intended spot,
getting bedded in depending on what was needed..

Today, it is a metal press, I imagine the cut metal is screen printed,
out to the proposed site and a post (or two) concreted in and the sign then put in place..
there is no soul to the new signage...:sad:

And then only one is made!It's preserved, in situ, alongside a newish bypass road. I'm glad they chose to keep it. It'd be a shame to lose the local history since 1822

Any ideas on the smaller circular stones. Just under 12" high, horizontal arrow pointing away from the bridge. One either side.
Bridge couldn't be raised, so the road was lowered, leaving elevated footpaths.

Best few hours for a long while, even though some have now gone in the last three years.
