Description
This milestone, dating from 1832, was erected for the Doncaster and Selby Turnpike. It is made of magnesian limestone and has a rectangular shape with a gabled top. On the side facing the road, it is inscribed with the distances: “DONCASTER / 14 MILES / ASKERN 7 / SELBY 5 / YORK 20.” Despite significant weathering, the inscription remains legible. The rear side of the milestone is blank, and the sides have sunken panels that appear to be intended for metal plates, although there are no signs of fixing holes.
Local climate
Milestone sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 92% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
