Description

This milestone, located 20 meters south of the junction with the footpath to Holme Bridge on Buxton Road in Bakewell, dates from the early 19th century. It is made of sandstone and has a triangular shape with a sloping top face. The top face features bold lettering that reads 'LONDON 152 Miles'. The left side of the milestone indicates the distances to Buxton and Manchester, while the right side shows the mileages to Bakewell (1/2 Mile), Matlock, and Derby. This milestone is likely from the time of improvements made to this section of the road around 1815.
