Milestone South of Longnor Market Place

II

An early C18 stone waymarker with later ball finial. The south facing side reads BAKEWELL (with hand pointing to the right) LEEK (with hand pointing to the left). The east facing side reads BUXTON (with hand pointing to the right) ASHBURN with hand pointing to the left). The north facing side reads LEEK (with hand pointing to the right) BAKEWELL (with hand pointing to the left). The hands used to depict the respective directions are gauntlet clad.

HISTORY: This stone waymarker is believed to have been erected between 1709 and 1711 and therefore predates the later C18 expansion in the formal road network as a result of the introduction of turnpike legislation.
