Description

This milestone and section of track are part of the former granite tramway that ran from Haytor quarry to Stover Canal, dating from the 1820s. The structure consists of a low granite post with a roughly shaped head, which is carved with the figure 6, indicating the distance of six miles to the canal. Located about 1.5 metres in front of the milestone is a short stretch of granite trackway. The Granite Tramway was opened in 1820 and was used for horse-drawn wagons to transport granite from the Haytor quarries to the Stover Canal, where it was then shipped by barge to the port of Teignmouth.
