Old milepost In 2002 this milepost had no paint.  In 2009 it was painted by a Milestone Society member.  In 2022 it needs refreshing.  The dead grass, brambles and moss accumulated around and on this post were cleared away by the photographer.  It is one of two remaining on this 6 mile stretch of road.  Other posts by this foundry, J Ingram, Ripon, can be seen on the A61 between Ripon and Harrogate and the B6265 between Ripon and Pateley Bridge.  The maker's name is below the hand on each face.
