This most northerly of the West Riding CC milestones on the A168, old A1, even older Great North Road, just south of Boroughbridge is near the Highways depot just south of the A168/A6055 traffic island. Prior to 1974 the River Ure which runs through Boroughbridge was the boundary of the West and North Ridings, but since then the town has been part of North Yorkshire. Milestone Society members from Knaresborough and York have painted this milestone as needed over many years. Milestone Society National ID: YN_FBBB28
