Full Description
One of 7 surviving milestones along the Norwich to Beccles road, marking Norwich 3 miles and Loddon 7 miles. This road never became a turnpike although it was a well travelled route.
The milestones along this route are of varying styles, indicating that they were put up separately by the parish councils and thus are almost impossible to accurately date.
(S1) contains information regarding this and other milestones along this route.
D. Holburn (HES), 23 January 2012.
2012. Maintenance work by the Milestone Society.
One of 60 milestones restored to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Milestone Society members cleaned and painted this marker.
Information from survey form (S2) and photographs (S3).
H. Mellor (HES), 22 May 2018.
