Milepost at Castle Donington
Mid 19th century cast iron milepost situated on High Street and reading 'Castle Donnington Parish' at the top, 'Tamworth 22 Miles' on the left and 'Nottingham 13 Miles' on the right. The oval plaque at the centre shows the makers to be Wootton Bros of Coalville. Note the village name has a double 'n'. In the 19th century Castle Donington was situated on the main Nottingham to Birmingham trunk road, so the mileposts were very important.

Milepost, High Street, Castle Donington
Apparently recently repainted to highlight the name of the parish (now spelled differently) and to obscure the mileages that indicate that this was once the main road between Nottingham and Tamworth (and thence Birmingham).

Milestone, High Street, Castle Donington
On the former turnpike road between Nottingham and Tamworth, thence to Birmingham. Listed Grade II.
The most recent paint job has painted over old paintwork, and has ignored the mileages, although these show up quite well with the accumulated muck. Note the double-N in the spelling of Donnington. The current spelling appears to have been regularised by the Ordnance Survey as the name already appears with just a single N on the first edition of the 1-inch series.
