Milestones on the B4215
This route continues the stone format of the Gloucester to Newent route – simple lettering in limestone. The length of the one lying down being a metre, and still having some in the ground, shows how much stone was needed for a relatively simple marker, and either how much the others have sunk or how the verge has been built up.
The turnpike date for this route is 1768. The first four stones out of Newent were not found.
