Milepost on old A1 at Londonderry
Image: © Hilary Jones Taken: 1 Sep 2020
One of the earliest mileposts made by Mattisons of Bedale when roads were cared for by Highways Districts. Conventionally when travelling towards a milepost the name of the next town is indicated on that face. On a few of these posts the hands were cast pointing the wrong way and a new correct hand was fixed over the wrong one. Now on a dead end section of road.
