Description

This is a mile-post from the late 19th century, created by F Matisson and Co in Bedale. It is made of white-painted cast iron with black-painted raised lettering and has a triangular shape, standing approximately 0.70 metres high. The left face indicates that Malton is 6 miles away and Kirbymoorside is 7 miles away. The sloping upper face features the word "Pickering," while a semicircular plate at the back encloses the words "North Riding of Yorkshire." The maker's name is also cast into the metal on the rear.

Local climate

Milepost receives an average of 790 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 58% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 36 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 62% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 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.
