Milepost on Hatfield Road
Comprehensively described by Ian Capper here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2705980 .
This view shows the other side of the post, which is, unusually, void of any lettering. Traditionally this would have referred to the next place to the right of the post, but this has already been incorporated into the top panel, and there are no other intermediate places of any consequence. Listed Grade II.

The Peacock
A locally listed pub on Hatfield Road. In a couple of years between 2007 and 2009 it went through various name changes: O'Neills, Ryans then back to O'Neills. It has now reverted to its original name, The Peacock. A 1634 map shows an Inn called The Peacock on the site, although the current building is clearly more recent, dating from the late 19th/early 20th century.
