Early C19 mile post on old turnpike road. It may have been relocated from nearby. It is said that it was originally on the opposite side of the road but the 25 inch OS map of 1900 seems to show it on the same side of the road but further up the High Street.
Mile post, black painted cast iron, triangular in section with sloping top. Top has 'ABERGAVEN-NY 17 1/4' in raised lettering. Left side has 'RHYDY-BLEW 7 MILES' and right side 'MERTHYR 2 MILES' both in similar lettering.
Included for the special historic interest of this transport item on old turnpike road.
