1557/0/10007 (East side)
01-OCT-10 Milestone 400m SW of Lower Coldrenick

GV II

A milestone, early-C18, in stone. The milestone is rectangular with a cambered head, and stands approximately 1m high. The milestone is painted white and is inscribed:3/B; the lettering is picked out in black paint.

HISTORY
The lane upon which this milestone stands was formerly the main route between Bodmin and West Cornwall; between 1677 and 1722 it was used as the post route. Although the date of the milestone has not been confirmed, it is likely that the mile post was erected during this period. If so, the stone may pre-date the 1769 Act of Parliament that set up the Bodmin Turnpike Trust (9 Geo III, c.59 (local and personal)) and which required milestones and direction posts to be erected along the road. The route was later superseded by a more direct line over Tregoss Moor and was dropped as a turnpike route by 1786. The milestone is marked on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1880.
