Description
This is a 19th-century milepost located near Highfields Farm in Uttoxeter Rural. It is made of hollow cast iron and has a triangular shape with a sloping top. The milepost is painted white and features raised black lettering on its surface, with a black painted base. The inscriptions indicate distances: "Left: UTTOXETER 2", "Right: ABBOTS BROMLEY 5 HANDSACRE 11 LICHFIELD 16", and "Top: UTTOXETER".
This milepost is notable for its well-preserved condition and original location, contributing to a group of similar structures that mark routes in East Staffordshire. It serves as a reminder of the increasing significance of road transport for people and goods during the 19th century and is a good example of a milepost in situ, justifying its listing.
