This very eroded milestone by Telegraph Pole DP132 on Sancton Road in Market Weighton has no visible remnants of an inscribed legend or that a plate had been attached. On the 1910 map it is noted as 'Old MS'. It is on the route of the continuation of the Brough Ferry and Newbold Holmes turnpike operative between 1771 and 1872.
