Milestone, Brampton Road
On the south side of the B6264 Brampton Road between house numbers 18 and 20 (location photograph NY4057 : Milestone, Brampton Road), this 19th Century milestone is unusual in carrying two Ordnance Survey benchmarks.
There is a cut benchmark on the west side of the stone near the base (detail photograph NY4057 : Benchmark, Brampton Road), and a pivot benchmark on the top of the stone (detail photograph NY4057 : Benchmark, Milestone, Brampton Road).
The milestone has lost its original metal plates and new replica ones have been fitted closely matching the originals, which read 'To Carlisle 1 mile' and 'To Newcastle 55 miles' (details of the milestone before restoration NY4057 : Old Milestone by the B6264, north of Carlisle).
