A cast-iron distance marker, one of many that have been installed along the canals of Brum in the last few years. Tempting as it may be to describe it as a milepost, that would be incorrect, as the distances are all marked in your new-fangled metres and kilometres, of which the builders of the canals would have little comprehension. Unlike others nearby, this one has (so far) escaped the worst attentions of the spraypaint and graffiti artists.
