Notes about this historic site
1 On the north side of the road east of Red Hill a wooden post with a rounded top, c.0.6m high x 0.35 wide, set in the verge at the location of the mile marker shown on the 1886 1st ed OS 1:10560 (Alcester 4, Stratford-upon-Avon 4). The side facing the road is flat with a depression and a fixing hole presumably to take a lettered metal plate. On the 1886 OS the marker is described as M.S. which may mean the post is a replacement for an earlier milestone.
