Some of the milestones along the Macclesfield canal are in better condition than others. Dating from the 1830s many are unreadable or have almost sunk into the towpath although some have been renovated. This is one of the best examples seen so far, as we weave our way north, 16 miles from Marple and a little south of the silk town of Macclesfield itself.
It's amazing that they have lasted so long.

ReplyDeleteThey are pretty amazing Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteHey Chrissy! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat old waymarker, love the light in this picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find ! Would love to walk these miles. Please have a good Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful way markers - far better than the little numbered signs by the side of the road that we have (and that don't tell you the beginning point!)
ReplyDeleteThe deep carving must have helped preserved this one.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition and colour in this shot!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful shot !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful setting for this lovely stone sign filled with so much character! The sign looks as if it could be quite mossy in the damp seasons!
