New milepost

In 2003 the milepost at this site was recorded as cracked but repaired. In 2010 it was destroyed by vehicular impact. It had been cast at the foundry of F Mattison & Co. Bedale. Ryedale UDC had this identical replacement cast at Cleveland Corrosion and it was set up in 2011.

Modern milepost

Along the B1257 & A170 between Malton and Helmsley 6 replacement mileposts were set up in 2011. They were cast to the Mattisons of Bedale pattern by Cleveland Corrosion. The work was funded by Ryedale UDC. This one is on the verge 350m north of Birch House. It is in Oswaldkirk Parish. There is a Grade II listing 1296318 but that may apply to the original milepost.

Old milestone

The most northerly of the four remaining stepstone milestones placed by the York to Oswaldkirk Bank Turnpike Trust. They were set up after 1772 at 3 mile intervals with wooden posts for the miles in between. It is the only one now set 'correctly'. There are faint remains of To/Helmsley/2 Miles in a recessed oval on the left face. To/York/21/Miles is in a recessed oval on the front. Link 6044978. The lane to the left leads to Ampleforth.

Old milestone

As the years pass more moss and lichens accumulate on these old, almost 250 year old, stones. The inscribed legends become less and less legible. This milestone has a pin and cut bench mark on the top.
