This is an F Mattison & Co. Bedale 'rose' casting that has lost its top section. The original route from Pickering to Whitby follows B roads from the A169 junction near Sleights railway station. This was the route of the Whitby to Middleton (Pickering) tollroad of 1764-1851. The North Riding CC mileposts would have been set up about the turn of the century.
