Old milepost Since 2016, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5131237">NZ2002 : Milepost and bus stops beside the A6108</a>, this milepost at the northeast end of Skeeby near the bus-stop has been painted.   And then recently it received a wash and brush-up from a Milestone Society member.   These Highway Division posts were cast by F Mattison & Co. of Bedale.   Many of them were cast with the hands pointing the wrong way but the two known to remain on this route are correct.  But is the 9 mile post  <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6044101">NZ2511 : Old Milestone, Stapleton Bank, Barton Road</a> still in situ?

The way to Sedbury East Farm A properly metalled road leads past Low Sedbury (behind the hedge on the left) and via a dogleg to Sedbury East Farm. Without so much as a cattle grid to guard it, it is no surprise that the residents feel the need for a sign to tell us that the road is private.
