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.

Blue Bank, Sleights

The notorious steep hill on the A169 Pickering to Whitby road above Sleights.There is a nasty bend which can catch drivers out and the runaway vehicle track is quite often in use.
