Old milestone
This quadrant shaped milestone at the Blue Bell Inn at Kirby Hill north of Boroughbridge was painted in 2002 by a Milestone Society member. Now the B6265 this was once the A1 and The Great North Road. Piersbridge is now spelt Piercebridge. And the mileage may have been altered at some time in the stones' history as 32½ is set in a recess. The stone may date from the 18C or 19C and is Grade II Listed.

The halfway point?
Information produced locally suggests that this old milestone marks the halfway point between London and Edinburgh. The problem is that whilst London is shown as 203 miles, there is no reference to Edinburgh on the other side. This stands by one of several 'Great North Road' routes, another being just half a mile to the east along what is now a dead end country lane, but pre WW2 it was the A167 and before that a stagecoach route to the north via Topcliffe and Northallerton.
