Canal milestone, north side
According to the canal society's website, these stones resembling grave markers are unique to the Macclesfield and Cromford canals. The Macclesfield's milestones had mostly been buried during the second world war as a precaution against enemy soldiers using them to find their way. All but three stones were dug up and re-erected by volunteers in the 1980s. This one, showing "Hall Green 1/4 mile" on its northern face, is listed grade II (list entry 1138712).

Macclesfield Canal: Footbridge No 93 and Hall Green Stop Lock
Technically the Macclesfield Canal ends at this stop lock: the property boundary between the Macclesfield and the Trent & Mersey Canals being midway between the top and bottom gates of the lock. However, bridge numbering continues in the Macclesfield series until the Hardingswood Junction is reached.
