Description
This milestone, dating from around 1750, is a triangular sectioned block made of ashlar sandstone with a shaped top. The west face of the milestone reads "To miles," although the specific destination and distance to London have been deliberately erased. The east face also has the word "To," but the remainder of the inscription has exfoliated.
This milestone is part of a group located along the old Macclesfield to Buxton turnpike established in 1750. There are two other similar milestones in Macclesfield Forest. The inscriptions were likely erased when a new turnpike was constructed in 1821.
