Description
This is a canal milepost located adjacent to Locks 47 at Church Lawton Top Lock, dated "R & D Stone 1819" on its shaft. The milepost is made of cast iron and is painted black and white. It has a circular shape with a moulded head and features embossed letters on two convex tablets that indicate distances: "Shardlow 64 miles" and "Preston Brook 28 miles." It was likely cast in the foundry of Rangeley and Dixon in Lichfield Street, Stone. The Trent and Mersey Canal, where this milepost is situated, was constructed between 1766 and 1777 by James Brindley and Hugh Henshall.
