Description

This milestone, made of rough stone and whitewashed, dates from the 18th or 19th century and has been re-used. The original inscription on the side facing away from Bath Road is now almost completely illegible. The stone has been turned so that a corner faces the road, resulting in two angled bottom faces and a flat face above. On the angled faces, the right side reads 'Slough 3' and the left side reads 'Maidenhead 2', while the flat face displays 'London 24'.

Local climate

Milestone sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
