SJ9033 HIGH STREET, Stone
651-1/7/34 (South West side)
27/07/72 Milestone in front of No 64 (not
included)
(Formerly Listed as:
HIGH STREET
Milestone (22 miles from Lichfield))

GV II

Milestone. Probably early C19 with late C20 plate. Ashlar with
metal plate. Round-headed flat stone post with square plate
reading: LICHFIELD/ 22 MILES/ LONDON/ 135 MILES. Stone was an
important staging post on the London-Holyhead and
London-Carlisle coach routes; the road through Stone was
altered in the C19 so that instead of running north west to a
left turn at the Crown Hotel (q.v.), it ran further north west
to turn into Newcastle Street, therefore this milestone dates
from after the change of route.
