Milepost on north-east side of A48, opposite to Twmpath Farm

This is an ornately moulded cast-iron milepost in Gothic style, located on the north-east side of the A48, opposite Twmpath Farm. It is part of a series of mileposts along the A48 to the west of Cardiff. The milepost features rectangular panels at its base, with the lower panel displaying the date '1835' and the upper panel stating 'Colwinston Parish'. Above this, there is a tall crowning tablet with a rounded head, which has the inscription 'Cowbridge District' at the top. Two pointed panels extend from the lower part of this tablet; the left panel is inscribed 'To Cowbridge 3' and the right panel is inscribed 'To Bridgend 4'. Below these, a segmental panel is inscribed 'London 173', situated above the rectangular panels at the base. Similar listed mileposts can be found in the City of Cardiff, specifically on Cowbridge Road East and West, as well as in the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans.
