Full Description
A Norfolk County Council milestone recorded by the Milestone Society and positioned along the Great Yarmouth to North Walsham. This milestone is triangular in section with a sloping top. It is half buried and some of the paint has fallen off, obscuring the inscription.
The inscription reads:
TOP: "N.C.C./MAIN/ROAD".
LHS: "TO/YAR(MOUTH)/(16/MILES)".
RHS: "TO/NORTH/WALSHAM/(9/MILES)".
See (S1) for further information.

Inspected and photographed. Remains in poor condition.

A query has arisen regarding the fabric. Local masons suggest that this is York stone, although the de-lamination has led local milestone workers to suggest that it is a form of concrete.
