A new face for Stroud
Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 7 Feb 2023
The milestone on the A419 is a treatment of the original eighteenth century stone. Previously, it used to stand on the old road a few metres east of its present position. Now the old railway line has been turned into the A road, it forms a junction with the old one and this is a more useful place for it. Note the plate is a very recent creation by the Stonehouse History Group in August, 2021, and sits on a fresh layer of concrete applied to the face. The old one was missing (as are so many originals).
