New milepost The original 'Mattisons of Bedale' casting set up at the turn of the 20th century was not found in 2005.  In 2011 Ryedale UDC commissioned Cleveland Corrosion to cast a replacement to the exact proportions and style of lettering. This was determined by examining original Mattison mileposts of this style still in situ on other Ryedale roads.
