Hill Street milestone
It is natural to see an old stone with the plate missing - many have doubtless been melted down as scrap by the unscrupulous. It had marked Bristol as being four miles away. This one is on Hill Street in Kingswood, close to a lane which was created along with the modern housing beside it.

Water is no barrier
To the spray can brigade, at least. The Warmley Brook is not exactly in full spate, which may help.

Fading away on the Tennis Court Inn
As the fortunes of the old pub have fallen, so has a benchmark on it. Now barely discernible, the mark is listed in the Benchmark Database: https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm113050.

The Tennis Court
Once a busy pub on the outskirts of the main road through Kingswood and Warmley, the Tennis Court closed in August 2016, and was converted into residential use.
It was once the haunt of some of the notorious Cock Road gang of the nineteenth century. Reports regard an incident in November 1824, seven members of the gang, including Mark Whiting and James Caines, were drinking in the Tennis Court Inn when Isaac Gorden came in. After a hostile exchange of words, Gorden was later found close by having been beaten and stabbed to death. Six members of the gang were tried for murder at the Gloucester Assizes in April 1825. All were acquitted except Mark Whiting and James Caines, who were hanged.
