Description
This milestone, erected by the Bedfont and Bagshot Turnpike Trust in 1743, was carved by the Chertsey mason Stephen Hart. It is made of limestone and is located on the south-east side of the A30 London Road, positioned on a grass verge between the pavement and the bushes along the road.
The milestone features a square-section shaft of worked stone topped with a rounded, pyramidal cap. The front, or north-west face, is divided by a central horizontal cut, with the upper half set back slightly. This face is inscribed in painted black lettering that reads: 24 MILES/ FROM/ HYDE PARK/ CORNER. Above this inscription, the angled north-west face includes an Ordnance Survey benchmark and rivet, also painted black, which were likely added in the 19th century.
