Facilities in the centre of Hillam Old pump, signpost, litter bin, bus stop and defibrillator in the disused phone kiosk. Everything you might need in the centre of Hillam. The signpost is interesting as it must be a relatively modern one, but in a traditional style. The circle at the top says 'North Yorks', which must make it post 1974, and the grid reference is correct as well.
