Meir Heath milepost in its setting
Oddly, despite being in Meir Heath, this one has the name 'Normacot' on it (see
Image), which is about 1.5 miles away to the northwest. Makes you wonder if it's been moved at some time in the past.

The Normacot milepost - detail
As is the case with
Image, this calls itself a Normacot milepost, despite being in Meir Heath. How this comes about on two different mileposts is a mystery to me.
