Milestone south-west of Trevithick Pond
GV II
DESCRIPTION:
A milestone, erected circa 1852 and situated on the south side of the road. The granite stone is triangular on plan; it is approximately 0.56m high and has a pyramidal top. It is inscribed on its front faces THE FIR H.../ 1½ / COLAN / 2 and ST / COLUMB / 2 in sans serif capitals. One of the upper corners of the milestone has been chipped off, removing the last three letters of The Fir Hill inscription. The milestone is painted white, with the lettering picked out in black.
HISTORY:
The milestone is one of a small group erected on one of two parish roads between St Columb Major and Colan by the St Columb Highway Board, which was responsible for roads in the parishes from 1835. The stone is closely dateable to circa 1852, since one of the group is clearly inscribed with this date. The roads were never adopted as main roads or turnpike roads, and as such are unusual in having milestones.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION:
The milestone south-west of Trevithick Pond in St Columb Major, erected circa 1852, is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* Intactness: it is an intact milestone dating from circa 1852, which remains in its original position and is unusually placed on a parish road rather than a turnpike road
* Group Value: the milestone is one of a small group remaining on this road, the other two of which are designated at Grade II
* Historic Interest: it testifies to the great wave of C18 road improvement, and is unusually placed on a parish road rather than a turnpike road
