Now seriously defaced, possibly during World War II as an anonymity measure. On this side the words 'From' and 'Miles' can just about be identified; less so the word 'Derby'. The original inscriptions were probably 'From Derby 13 Miles' on this side, and 'From Nottingham 3 Miles' on the other. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3843916 for location.
