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.
