Surveyed by the Milestone Society. This post on the village green in Ainderby Steeple on the A684 is one of only two of this design now known about. Four milepost designs were cast at the Mattisons of Bedale foundry that was in Leeming Bar. The premises are now occupied by H Gill & Sons. It operated between 1851 and 1937 and cast many different agricultural, domestic and general iron products.
