Description

This is a canal milepost located to the north of Bridge Number 138, dated "R & D Stone 1819" on its shaft. It is made of cast iron and painted black and white. The post is circular with a moulded head and features embossed letters on two convex tablets that read: "Shardlow 65 miles" and "Preston Brook 27 miles". It was likely cast in the foundry of Rangeley and Dixon in Lichfield Street, Stone. The Trent and Mersey Canal, for which this milepost was created, was constructed between 1766 and 1777 by James Brindley and Hugh Henshall.
