Close up of the milestone in Image, alongside a post box set in a brick pillar. The milestone is one of a series dating from 1817 along what is now the A217, but prior to the building of the A23 through Redhill in 1818, was once the main London to Brighton road. It reads "LONDON 22 REIGATE 1 3/8" on this face and "BRIGHTON 29 5/8 CRAWLEY 7 5/8" on the reverse. This example is grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1294792.
