Description
Milestone 7 is a military milestone erected between mid-1751 and 1758 as part of the military road connecting Newcastle to Carlisle, built in response to the second Jacobite Rising of 1745. It is made of sandstone and is located on the southern verge of the Military Road, which was formerly part of the B6318 and at one time a section of the A67. The stone pillar stands about one metre high and has a narrow rectangular section measuring approximately 30cm by 15cm, with a chamfered rounded upper surface. The face of the milestone features a roughly punched-tooled surface and is inscribed with the number '7', indicating the distance in miles from the west gate of Newcastle upon Tyne to this point in the mid-18th century. The rear of the pillar is obscured from view by a garden wall, which is not included in the listing.
