Old milepost This milepost on the village green on the A684 in Ainderby Steeple has had a chequered career in the last few years. Leaning and uncared for it was removed about 2010 and still not reset in 2013. By 2020 it was found in situ but needed painting. In August 2023 it was seen painted white all over and later that month the black lettering had been done. There are only two or three of this particular design in the whole of North Yorkshire. It is Grade II listed 1150973.

View across the Swale At this point the Swale meanders briefly into this grid square on its slow journey through the Vale of Mowbray. Not the easiest square to take photos in as there's no public path on this left bank, whilst much of the right bank is MOD land.

New housing, Morton on Swale I last took a photograph of this site in 2007 when it was the location for Morton Auto Services. Now it is one of three development sites in this village where new housing is filling in gaps.
