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.
