This is the very eroded backing stone for the 1 mile from Selby milestone on the A63 Selby to Leeds road, the Selby Leeds turnpike of 1741 - 1874. The protruding metal attachment was taken off in May 2016, painted and then given to Selby Highways. A new backing stone was to be found or a concrete one made. The whole would be put back by the roadside opposite the Selby town sign. 2020, the old backing stone stands forlorn on the verge.
