Description
This is a milepost located on the B3170 in Otterford, dating from around 1840. It was made by the iron founders Allen and Co of Taunton. The milepost is triangular in shape, hollow in section, with a sloping top and a plinth that displays the founder's name. On the left side, it has raised lettering inscribed with "HONITON 11 3/8", and on the right side, it reads "TAUNTON 7". The milepost is set at an angle, leaning backwards, and stands about 1.2 meters high. The Honiton and Ilminster Trust received permission to turnpike this section of road from Shoreditch, south of Taunton, to the Devon border through an Act of 1840. An almost complete set of mileposts from this era remains along the road.
