2008 : Top of the village, Wick
This was the old A420 before realignment. There was a nasty bend 1km toward Chippenham and a worse one here. A short cut-off road runs between the garage and Pool Farm.

Needs a lick of paint...
But the hand is still guiding you to Bath Guildhall!
The roadside marker at the junction of the A420 London Road (out of Wick) and the Bath Road (reached over Lansdown). It is part of the Bath Turnpike roads, and the guidestone also happens to have a benchmark cut into the side of it. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm39329 for more information.
