1 This milestone of Forest of Dean stone was erected in 1869 when the lodge to the Shirley estate at Ettington Park was built. It took the place of one of the cast iron milestones on the turnpike (PRN 5450) which did not harmonise, in the view of E P Shirley, with his new lodge. The carving was done by a master mason of Ilmington.
2 Photographed in 1968.
