Description
The milestone located on Staines Road in Bedfont is dated to the 18th century and marks a distance of 12 miles from London. It is part of a series of similar milestones that indicate distances of 12 miles, 13 miles, and 15 miles from the capital, with this particular milestone dated 1743. Historically, these milestones were placed along the London-Staines Road, which is one of the main old routes leading into London and follows part of the Roman road to Silchester.
