Full Description
One of 4 milestones along the Cromer to Holt road, marking Holt 4 miles and Cromer 6 miles. This road was not part of a turnpike, and it is likely that these milestones were put up by parish councils in the late 19th century.
The milestones along this road are wedge-shaped, with arched tops and the mileages given in seriffed capitals.
(S1) gives information on this and other milestones along this road.
