In Pickering, on Malton Road, A169, just south of Crossgate Lane, this is a Mattison & Co. of Bedale casting from the late 19C/early 20C. Their details are cast inside the back left-hand side. Of several different styles of milepost cast at that foundry, this one with the rose and flighted arrows is the most elaborate.
