Description

A late C18 milestone erected by the Tunstall and Bosley Turnpike Trust.

MATERIALS AND PLAN: the milestone is triangular on plan and is carved from local gritstone, suggested to have been sourced from the Bridestone quarry.

DESCRIPTION: the milestone is situated on the pavement side of the front boundary wall to 161 Congleton Road. It has notched shoulders and its road facing aspect is chamfered to create two gently angled faces. The inscription on both faces is very worn, and while there is some disagreement between sources, it is believed to read, ‘TO/ CONGLETON/ 3 1/2 MILES/ TO/ MACCLESFIELD/ 11 MILES/ TO/ NEWCASTLE/ 9 MILES’.
