Old milepost On the A621, Baslow Road, Totley this milepost becomes more and more neglected.   It is in a very vulnerable position opposite houses that often have parked cars making the road narrower.   The foundry name is down the front spine DARWIN & CO SHEFFIELD.   Their name is also seen on gully grates and doubtless they cast other products.   There was a Sheffield, Baslow, Owler Bar turnpike that lasted from 1803 to 1880 so this post may date from the middle to late 19C.
