Erected for the Ashby to Tutbury Turnpike, probably early 19th century but possibly earlier. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4003568 for location. Currently there is some confusion as to whether this is a Listed structure. English Heritage have a milepost of which the description matches this, but located on Burton Bridge where there is also a cast milestone, but not matching the description http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4003556. It could refer to one or the other, or perhaps the intention is that both should be listed.
