General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

'‘Milestone’ is a generic term, including mileposts made of cast iron. Such waymarkers are fast disappearing; around 9000 are thought to survive in the UK.

Most were removed or defaced in World War II to baffle potential German invaders and not all were replaced afterwards.

Many have been demolished as roads have been widened, or have been victims of collision damage, or have been smashed by hedge-cutters or flails.'

This one is in Spring View, Ince, not too far away from the cricket club. I wondered why it gives the distance from Ince to Warrington then remembered it is on Warrington Road.

Do you know the whereabouts of any milestones in the borough and what information is on them?
