Old milepost After 25 minutes of clearing vegetation and soil by the photographer this milepost is now more visible. As the verge at this point is only about a metre wide it may be difficult to completely refurbish it safely. It is one of 14 known survivors of mileposts made by J Ingram, Ripon which are on the A61 from Ripon to Harrogate and the B6265 from Boroughbridge through Ripon to Pateley Bridge.

Old milepost At the western end of Sharow is this milepost which, from its style, was probably cast at the J Ingram foundry in Ripon in the middle to late 19th century. Last painted in 2009 by a milestone Society member. Difficult to read on the righthand side is SHAROW/COPT-HEWICK/DISHFORTH/1.

Old milepost One of only two mileposts on the 5 miles of minor road between Ripon and Dishforth. It is about 100m east of Strait Lane into Copt Hewick. It is exposed to the weather from the north. The legends which can just be made out are RIPON/2/SHAROW/½ on the left face and COPT-HEWICK/½/DISHFORTH/3 on the right. Probably cast at the J Ingram foundry in Ripon.

Old milepost Just inside Hutton Lane the unclassified roadleading to Hutton Conyers and Bedale. Although no foundry name is evident it was probably cast by J Ingram in Ripon as it is very similar to posts on the Ripon to Pateley Bridge road which have the makers name cast on. The legend on the left face is HUTTON/CONYERS/½/WATH/3/BEDALE/12.
