ST BLAISE

868/0/10190 (West side)
11-NOV-10 Fingerpost at Crossroads South of Bode
lva

GV II
Fingerpost. Late C19.
MATERIAL: Cast-iron.
A slender, tapering post with a fluted lower section and a barley twist upper section, joined together by a ring moulding. It is surmounted by a ball finial. Attached to the flange are three arms with pointing hands at the ends and inscribed in sans serif capitals: ST BLAZEY GATE; LUXULYAN; TREGREHAN & ST AUSTELL. Two appear in form to be of an early date, though the one inscribed St Blazey Gate uses a different style of lettering and may be a later replacement.
REASON FOR DESIGNATION: The fingerpost at the crossroads south of Bodelva is recommended for designation at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* It is a late-C19 example with three `fingers', although one appears to be a replacement
* A significant reminder of the importance of transport networks for the movement of goods and people
* Group value with a listed late-C19 milestone located on the opposite side of the crossroads
