Seamer Beacon in the snow Taken from a similar position as my earlier image <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4162501">TA0087 : Seamer Beacon</a> this shows the tree covered hill on Seamer Moor called Seamer Beacon in the snow. It is a natural hill the western slopes of which has three round barrows though the summit barrow was flattened in the 19th century when a folly known as Baron Albert's Tower was erected on it.

Old milepost On the A170 about a mile east of Great Ayton this North Riding of Yorkshire milepost did its best to hide in the neglected verge.  It is southeast of a wood and a minor crossroads on Seamer Moor Hill.

Old milestone Since Malton 13 there have no more of these stones along the original route of the York-Malton-Scarborough turnpike, 1752-1865, now A170.   This one is on Stepney Road, Scarborough.   In 2013 a Milestone Society member found the 33 x 55cm plate was loose on the worn stone.   It was just held in place by a prong on each corner.   Presumably all the other milestones like this one still to be found on the route from Malton are attached in the same way.  The plate was removed, repainted and reattached with lime mortar.  There is a benchmark at the base of the stone.
