The last of the 1893/94 WRCC milestones set up by Gill & Frank Stead on the road eastwards to Oldcotes and Barnby Moor. The road shortly enters Bassetlaw, Nottinghamshire. The ground has been cleared and the milestone recently painted. Visible near the base are two places where bolts held the metal attachment to the backing stone. The backing stone has a hole in its top used by the Ordnance Survey. It is Grade II listed 335925.
