This quadrant shaped milestone at the Blue Bell Inn at Kirby Hill north of Boroughbridge was painted in 2002 by a Milestone Society member. Now the B6265 this was once the A1 and The Great North Road. Piersbridge is now spelt Piercebridge. And the mileage may have been altered at some time in the stones' history as 32½ is set in a recess. The stone may date from the 18C or 19C and is Grade II Listed.
