Description
Milestone at the junction with Westbury Road, dating from around 1834. This milepost is a cast iron pillar in a classical style, featuring a weathered and moulded top. The raised lettering indicates the distances: BATH/14/WARMINSTER/3. A mid-18th century stone milepost, likely from 1751-1752, is retained at the rear. The road from Warminster to Bath was originally turnpiked in 1851-1852 and consolidated by the Black Dog Trust in 1834, which involved the construction of a new road from Woolverton to Bathampton. During this time, the old milestones were replaced with these iron ones made by Carson and Miller, a Warminster ironfoundry. William McAdam served as the engineer for the Trust. The post was relocated to its current position when the A36/A3098 junction was reconstructed.
