GV II
Early C19 milepost of painted cast iron; triangular in section with inclined head and segmental-arched, raised back plate. Relief lettering inscription; right face: BURTON 2 MILES; left face: TUTBURY 2 ½ MILES; head: HORNINGLOW PARISH; back plate: LONDON 127 MILES.
HISTORY: The milepost was erected by the Ashby de la Zouch to Tutbury Turnpike Trust. It was cast in Burton upon Trent in c.1828.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: Milestones are of national importance as they are some of the few physical remains of national and local historic road use. The mileposts on this route reflect the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes to facilitate the transport needs of the increasingly industrial landscape of C18 Staffordshire. This is one of a number of C19 cast iron mileposts to mark the turnpike between Ashby de la Zouch and Tutbury. The post remains intact and in its original location. It also has group value with other listed mileposts on this route.
