SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: This milepost survives well in its original location and forms part of a group, many of which are listed, marking out routes in East Staffordshire. Mileposts are reminders of the growing importance of road transport of people and goods in the C19. As a good example of a milepost in situ it fully merits listing.
