Old milestone There is a run of milestones along the B1258 from Malton 7 to Malton 11.   They were set up by the York-Malton-Scarborough Turnpike Trust 1752-1865.   Money was not always available in the early years of a Trust to erect milestones,  the tolls were used to pay for improvements to the road surface.   These milestones would have been set up at the end of the 18th or early 19th centuries.   This is the last one before the now main road, A170, is reached.   It is leaning so needs work to set it more upright.   Set between Electricity Poles 10 and 11 it was one of the milestones professionally painted in 2010 for Ryedale Council.  It has a benchmark on the right-hand side.
