Milestone (Sedbergh 2), A684 Hawes Road


Fostrow and Soolbank

  • Description

    "The marks seen on the side of this milestone beside the A684 may be the remains of the Ordnance Survey benchmark levelled at 518.198 feet above Liverpool Datum during the 1845 Kirkby Kendal to Thirsk 1GL Survey. The surveyor's description was 'No. 37. Mark on the 2d milestone from Sedbergh and 14th from Hawes ; 0.66 ft. above centre of road'. It is shown on the 1888-1913 6" Map as BM 527.5 so was evidently moved after the 1GL Survey, and a new benchmark was later (1953?) levelled on its top [[3575426]].
