This milepost is north east of the Litherland Road Bridge alongside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal. Once there were mileposts located every quarter of a mile between Liverpool and Leeds making it easier for tolls and charges to be calculated. Many have disappeared, but the ones that remain are being re-painted and the actual 'Mile' posts are being replaced where necessary. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/news-and-views/news/missing-mileposts-replaced-on-the-leeds-and-liverpool-canal http://www.towpathtreks.co.uk/milepostdisplay.asp?ino=3 See also Image
