Old field boundaries, Hutton Buscel The low light on a bright January day highlights the old field boundaries and the ridge and furrow in this large field on a south facing slope. Hutton Buscel village on the skyline. Many of these field boundaries were still extant at the time of the first 6" OS map of the area surveyed in 1850, but had gone by the end of the century

Old milepost This post is outside a house called The Milestone on the A170 Racecourse Road in East Ayton.   Although inside of the back can't be seen this is the type of milepost cast at the foundry of F Mattison & Co. Bedale.   This is one of the mileposts along this route which does get painted occasionally.

Old milepost Just to the northeast of Far Lane junction with the A170 this is one of the neglected mileposts on this route.   Perhaps a good scrub down with soapy water may work miracles!  These mileposts could have been erected at the end of the 19thC or early in the 20th.
