Old milepost

When first recorded for the Milestone Society in 2004, this milepost on the A684 had lost a large section of the bevel. In 2007 it was repaired for the Yorkshire Dales National Park and repainted. In 2019 there is evidence of the repair with rusty lines on the bevel. It was made at the foundry of F Mattison & Co, Bedale. This is cast inside the back of the right-hand side. It is Grade II listed 1296900.

Old milepost

This milespost on the A684 was damaged. The two sides were retrieved by the Yorkshire Dales National Park and then the top bevel was located recently. It has been repaired with a strengthening framework inside which allows the foundry name, Mattisons of Bedale, to be seen. It also has an extension into the ground. Repainted and reset with a surrounding membrane and stones to help keep down the roadside grasses and weeds. It had to be moved with the agreement of the YDNP listing to a wider verge and safer position a little to the east of its original site. It is Grade II Listed 1296900.
