This end of George Street is pedestrianized. An elaborate milestone gives 64 miles to London, but Roman numbers for other places, such as XX miles to Bury. It is a grade II listed 'building', probably 18th century, and is listed as being on the other side of the High Street on the corner of Church Street, roughly where the camera is. It must have been moved to a safer location when George Street was blocked to vehicles. The 64 miles was probably measured from Aldgate Pump, the old datum for distances into Essex and beyond.
