Marking the miles


When the Caldon canal was opened between Etruria and Froghall milestones were erected marking the distance from each end of the waterway. Later, in 1811, when the branch to Uttoxeter was completed from Froghall soon became necessary to amend the distances to reflect this and new mileposts were commissioned in cast iron. These were supplied from the foundry of Rangeley and Dixon in Stone which was established c1818. This example dates from 1820. Many of the stones have not survived, having been redundant for 190 years or so, but this example remains near Consall Forge alongside its replacement.
