Description
The milepost on Bearstone Bridge is a cast iron structure, likely dating from the mid-to-late 19th century. It features a black painted base with raised lettering and has a triangular shape with a chamfered top that slopes towards the front.

The right side lists distances to "KNIGHTON ¾ / PIPEGATE 1 ½ / WOORE 2 ¼ / NANTWICH 10 ¼." This milepost is situated on Bearstone Bridge, which spans the River Tern.
