Milestone, High Street, Castle Donington
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 18 Jun 2019
On the former turnpike road between Nottingham and Tamworth, thence to Birmingham. Listed Grade II. The most recent paint job has painted over old paintwork, and has ignored the mileages, although these show up quite well with the accumulated muck. Note the double-N in the spelling of Donnington. The current spelling appears to have been regularised by the Ordnance Survey as the name already appears with just a single N on the first edition of the 1-inch series.
