As of mid-2015, funds have been secured to excavate and restore the pinfold. If planning permission is granted, the restoration should be complete in time for the 2016 Best Kept Village competition. Pinfolds were used to hold stray animals until claimed by their owners on payment of a fine.

Behind the camera, the formation crosses the A52 main road into a cutting and under a bridge, before being lost under a modern golf course for some distance.

Milepost, Whiston
The milepost stands beside the A52 and is one of a series of this style of milepost along the road. For a wider view
Image
Milestones/posts 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.
