Old Milestone, Kingstown Road, Carlisle


This old milestone is at the side of A7, Kingstown Road, in the Kingstown area of Carlisle.

The tollhouse was later extended for use as Kingstown HSBC Bank; now the site hosts a Subway takeaway. The milestone is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
