Milestone, Copenacre
Milestone beside the A4.
Milestones did not come into general use until the Turnpike Act of 1766 made them compulsory on turnpike roads, these roads were built by private enterprise under licence from the Government and maintained by tolls on those who used them. Before this Act milestones were put up occasionally, often as charitable acts and commemorations. Many Turnpike Act stones still exist. They are usually 2-3 ft high, with the initial letter or abbreviation of the nearest market town show on two faces, and the distance from it.

Milestone, Copenacre
The early 19th milestone has a rusty cast iron plate which no longer gives the distance to Bath. For a wider view
Image and there is a worn bench mark on it http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm33843
Milestones are the original roadside heritage features with many dating back hundreds of years and these historic items are under threat from highway developments.

Copenacre
Copenacre Quarry was converted into a Naval Stores Depot (part of Spring Quarry Naval Stores Depot) and was in use from the 1940's to the mid 1990's. Here we see a telephone box and a Stores Manager's office in the background. It has now become a dumping ground for the adjoining Hartham Quarry.
