Description
This mounting block, located approximately 66 metres south of the junction with St George's Place, is likely from the 18th century. Made of limestone, it has a rectangular shape and is cut into three steps. A metal pin that once held an inscription plate is still visible on the west side. The block was formerly used as the first milestone from York, measured from Ouse Bridge, and also served as a boundary stone, marking a re-entrant angle of the city boundary established in 1832.
