This replica milepost is installed on the left bank as you travel to Newtown and the boater would see how far he has to travel to Newtown first. This does create confusion in some people's minds hence the scrawled arrows on this sign. The inscription reads "This milepost was placed here by The Montgomery Waterway Restoration Trust on 25th September 1983 and is dedicated to the memory of Kenneth Douglas Allnutt 1939 - 1982 who spent some of his happiest hours on the waterways of Britain. Donated by family, friends & colleagues".
