Description

This milestone, made of cast iron, was erected in 1896 and is located on the east side of the A49. It has a triangular shape with a downward sloping top and a hollow back. The top features cast lettering that reads 'CHESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL 1896'. On the left side, it indicates distances to Stretton (2.5 miles), Great Budworth (7 miles), and Northwich (10 miles), while the right side shows 'WARRINGTON 1 MILE'. The maker's mark at the bottom of the left face reads 'W H SMITH & CO. MAKERS, WHITCHURCH'. This milestone is significant as it represents the area's transport history and is a notable example of late 19th-century roadside markers.

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 65% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
