A close-up of the milestone in Walkington. This is the only known step milestone in this wide area of the East Riding that has a rounded top. The 3 square holes, 2 at the bottom, one at the top, show that it once had a metal plate. One for the benchmark enthusiasts too. Photo taken over 20 years ago is at Image and it hasn't weathered too much in the intervening years.
