Cranleigh obelisk This was built when the road was built, and is Victorian although the age is unknown. The signs are almost the same as the pre-Worboys which replaced them, but officially is a milepost SC CRANOB, although the signs should qualify as pre-Worboys individually. There are three and I have taken each separately here. Anyone with sharp eyes will also notice the road does not go to Guildford this way but comes from it, they are not in the correct order.
