Old milepost Another one of the Mattison's of Bedale Highways District posts with the wrong hands.   It was cast in the late 19thC.     The current Ryedale Urban District Council are good at looking after and even replacing lost mileposts.  In January 2007 this one was found horizontal and out of the ground.   It was reset in February 2007 but is now ready for a repaint.
