By the cross at Brandesburton – 1979 This was on an enthusiast tour, but was recreating the sort of scene, with this type of vehicle, which was shortly to disappear. It is East Yorkshire 786, an AEC Renown with Park Royal bodywork, new in 1965, withdrawal being the result of conversion of services to one-person operation.

This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761">Link</a> .

The cross probably dates from the 14th century, and was a market cross rather than a wayside or preaching cross. It is Listed Grade II and is also a Scheduled Monument.

Old milepost At the southern end of Brandesburton opposite the village sign is this mileplate which would have been set up by the newly formed East Riding CC in the late 19C/early 20C.   The White Cross to Bridlington Turnpike was enacted in 1767 but the original Act was not renewed after the initial 21 years.  It is thought that milestones were not set up.   This plate was found in a pond, repainted by a local resident <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6037970">TA1147 : Old Milepost by Main Street/New Road junction, Brandesburton</a> and set up at its original site by the East Riding Highways unit.
