Full Description
One of 7 surviving milestones along the Norwich to Beccles road, marking Norwich 8 miles, Loddon 2 miles and Beccles 9 miles. This road never became a turnpike although it was a well travelled route.
The milestones along this route are of varying styles, indicating that they were put up separately by the parish councils and thus are almost impossible to accurately date.
(S1) contains information regarding this and other milestones along this route.
