Milestone
A milestone is a marker placed on a route, such as a road, railway line, or canal - usually indicating the distance to major towns. Milestones were used by the Romans, but many of those seen today were associated with turnpike (toll) roads of the 18th and 19th centuries, in the time of the horse and carriage. Many are included on the National Heritage List for England, in recognition of their historical significance. The Milestone Society was established in 2001 to “identify, record, research, conserve and interpret for public benefit the milestones and other waymarkers of the British Isles”. Many of the photographs of milestones and mileposts here were taken during surveys by the Milestone Society and shared on Geograph.co.uk
