Description
This milestone, likely from the mid 19th century, is a flat-topped triangular stone with a rounded front corner. It features an Ordnance Survey former benchmark on top. The stone has plain sans-serif incised lettering that reads: "PRESCOT 7 MILES, LIVERPOOL 15 MILES, WARRINGTON 3 MILES." The National Grid Reference is approximate, as the milestone is not marked on current large-scale Ordnance Survey maps.
Local climate
Milestone sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 63% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
