It's been a tough old road
This milestone is looking decidedly askew these days, as well as being rather rusty again. Still, it looks like it is the original plate that is still attached. Originally it would have said 'Bath 8, Wells 12⅝'.

House on the Bath Rd
At the top of Poor Hill which is the steep walk way going down to the left of the building, this house with a mansard roof appears as if it may have been a pub at one time.

The old Bell Inn
The Bell Inn was one of about five pubs in the village of Farmborough. There is a record of a land auction being held there in 1798, but the inn is now a private residence after closing in the post-WWII era. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6511222 for a better look at some painted text below the roofline.

The top of Poor Hill is blocked
A steep road into Farmborough at the junction with the main Bath Road is now barred off to traffic. Perhaps not surprisingly with the amount of cars and lorries using the A39.

The junction of Poor Hill and the Bath Road
Here the main road (the A39) runs along the north of Farmborough. As it passes the top of Poor Hill, opposite Hunstrete Road, it goes past a benchmark on the wall close to the lamppost. See Image] for a look.

Benchmark at the top of Poor Hill
A cutmark, as listed in the Benchmark Database: https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm126101 , behind a modern signpost at the top of Poor Hill in Farmborough. The mark is a replacement for an earlier benchmark that used to be on the Bell Inn, just across the junction. Presumably the latter was lost or rendered unusable so this one was created. See Image] for a wider view.
