Before the top of the milestone was unceremoniously detached by (we assume) an errant driver Image, it included an OS rivet and arrow mark, the remains of which are seen here after I plonked the broken piece of the milestone back on top of the base. Hopefully the car suffered at least as much damage as this historic stone has undergone, and the driver will be a good bit more cautious approaching the Pickmere island in future.
