HISTORY
The milestone is one of a series erected by the Bodmin Turnpike Trust which was established by an Act of Parliament in 1769. In 1834 the Trust set about improving its route from Bodmin to Liskeard and erected a number of milestones over the new nine mile route along the Glyn valley. This example, close to the tollhouse, is the first of a series of eight.
The milestone on the A38 100m SE of the Fourways Tollhouse is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* It is one of a number of milestones erected by the Bodmin Turnpike Trust in 1834 and is close to the nearby Tollhouse.
* It stands in its original location, and is intact.
* It is a good example of an early C19 milestone, illustrating the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes to facilitate the transport needs of the increasingly industrial landscape of C19 Cornwall.
