Image: © Mike Faherty Taken: 23 Jan 2009
Distinctively shaped milestone on the A57: level top, plan roughly triangular, with curving front edges, erected by the Warrington & Lower Irlam Trust. Legend on the other side, very grubby because of traffic spray, reads: "TO/WARRINGTON/5/MILES". At least 3 others of this series still exist; see also Image
