This is a milestone on the main road between Warrington and Irlam, formerly a Turnpike between Liverpool and Manchester. The distance to Warrington is on the opposite side, however the road is 50mph and I didn't feel comfortable taking a similar shot from the opposite direction. The other side isn't painted, which makes the text barely legible. The date of this is possibly around 1810.
