Until I posted this on Facebook, I'd not noticed that the milepost on Six Mile Hill near Dunsford had a benchmark on it...

A64
Bilbrough
Westbound, between the Ring-Road junction, & the services (McDonalds)

It's attracted me for a long-time, but an awkward one due to traffic flow
But, this AM it was fairly light traffic, so..............

It's attraction is due to the complimentary adjacent farm sign

Unless I head over to Newark?

Wife at a meeting at a local Hospital, & I have roughly 3 hours to kill

Newark Castle Station
Quite a glorious building
The adjacent level-crossing (out of frame to the left) caused chaos though, as it closed (what was) The Great North Road/A1 several times an hour
It's still named that, even thought it's not the A1 anymore, now B6326
