On Saltgrounds Road in Brough just south of the Ferry Inn, this milestone was restored by Elloughton and Brough Parish Council in 1983. There was an 8.3 mile turnpike between Brough Ferry and Newbald Holmes which was first enacted in 1771 and ended in 1872. This was part of a route between York and Lincoln which would use the ferry to cross the River Humber.
