Old milepost Eight miles north of the last NRYCC milepost is the next one which is on the main road through Sleights, Coach Road, A169.  So still on the line of the Whitby to Middleton (Pickering) tollroad.  It is 100m north of a Road Junction sign.  Well looked-after with the WHITBY/RDC on the bevel needing painting.

Old milepost The F Mattison & Co. Bedale 'rose' casting at Briggswath on the south side of the B1410.   This would have been the original main road into Whitby although the main route now is via the A169 and A171.   This post is on the south side of the road near the bus-stop and about 100m west of a 'pinch' at the east end of the village.

Old milepost There is the milestone in Briggswath, right by the bus-stop sign which could do with a repaint and straightening.   The 120+ year old milepost has faired much better.

Old milepost Shears and secateurs used to reveal the milepost in Ruswarp on the B1410.  The Urban and Rural District Councils were formed at the end of the 19th century so this style of milepost, cast by F Mattison & Co. Bedale, would have been set up about the turn of the century.   WHITBY/UDC on the bevel has not been painted.

"Seggymire Lane is undoubtedly an historic route, appearing for example in part on Robert Rowe's New Map of Yorkshire map dated 1810. It could well have been one of many packhorse routes to Whitby. It was recorded as being maintainable at public expense in 1932 Highway records and remains on North Yorkshire County Councils List of Streets as highway Number WY133G" - from  North York Moors National Park Authority Services Committee minutes from 11 July 2005.
