Description

SJ 97 NW ADLINGTON C.P. HOLEHOUSE LANE (South Side)

6/7 Milestone on towpath 30m south of canal bridge no. 25.

GV II

Milestone: C1830. Heavy rectangular sandstone block with a shaped top reads "From ....... 7 Miles" on south face, and "From ....... 19 1/4 Miles" in good seriffed script. The placenames of Marple and Hall Green (the ends of the canal) were deliberately erased during the Second World War to confuse German parachutists. This is an example of the style of milestone on this canal with simpler distance stones between. There is an example of such a stone south of canal bridge no. 19 Adlington.
