Description
The milestone on London Road, dating from 1832-33, was designed by Thomas Telford as part of the Holyhead Road. It is made of pink granite with a cast iron panel. Located on the west side of London Road, just north of The Westway, the milestone features gently battered sides that rise into a shallow pointed head. The cast iron panel, which has the Tarver foundry mark, is recessed into the front and also has a pointed head. The inscription on the panel reads: LONDON 71/ DAVENTRY/ ½/ TOWCESTER/ 11½/ MILES.
