There are at least ten stones on the upper reaches of the Lancaster Canal that are half way between two milestones. They appear to have been carved into a similar shape and size. These have been confirmed as very likely to be half milestones by the Lancashire Canal Trust and the Milestone Society. Approx distance to Milestone 24-33 is 0.475 miles up the canal and down the canal 0.523 miles to Milestone 25-32. There are also winch points, but those have a different cross section and have been uploaded as winch points. If you know of any other stones (please check my profile for those I have seen), or know more information about what they are I would be very grateful to hear from you. Thank you to Phil Johnstone https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/13778 for pointing out the location of this for me.
