Description
A milestone erected by the Bedfont and Bagshot Turnpike Trust in 1743, carved by Chertsey mason Stephen Hart.
MATERIALS Limestone.
DESCRIPTION The milestone is situated on the south-east side of the A30 London Road, on a grass verge outside No 204 London Road. It has a square-section shaft of worked stone with a rounded, pyramidal cap. The front, north-west face is divided by a central horizontal cut with the upper half set back slightly. This face is inscribed with painted, black lettering that reads: 27 MILES/ FROM/ HYDE PARK/ CORNER. The rear, south-east face, is inscribed with an Ordnance Survey benchmark, which is also painted black and was probably added in the C19.
