Milestone, Tubbenden Lane
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 14 Apr 2009
Grade II listed milestone dating from 1779. The listing particulars suggest that it is situated on the New Cross Turnpike of 1718, but although Tubbenden Lane is clearly an old road (it appears on the early 19th century Ordnance Survey map of the region), it wasn't on any direct route to or from anywhere, so it's not clear why it held any significance as a turnpike route. See Image for photo before restoration and Image for context.
