Toppled Milestone, Bagbrook Bridge This cast iron milestone is marked on the OS maps about 300m south of the Monks Heath cross roads. Unfortunately it is lying on its back (this is an aerial photo) in the hedgerow alongside the A34, Congleton Road. A combination of creeping ivy and rust will soon render it illegible.
