Full Description
One of 14 surviving milestones along the Norwich to Holt road, marking Norwich 18 miles and Holt 3 miles and also incorporating an OS benchmark. This road ran from St Augustine's Gate in Norwich to Holt, and apart from the first few miles of the road forming part of the Norwich to Cromer turnpike, this road, although well travelled, was not a turnpike.
The milestones along this road are primarily comprised of one of two types of milestone. This type of milestone dates from the early 19th Century and is part of the Parish Council series, and it is likely have been placed in the 1820's.
(S1) contains information regarding this and other milestones along this route.
