CALLINGTON
LAUNCESTON ROAD (A388)
Milestone to the north of 128
II
Milestone of late C19 date. Stone, painted white with black lettering, of obelisk form, with tapering sides and pyramidal cap. It bears painted signage to the two roadside faces: "C / 1/2" and "L / 10".
HISTORY: The milepost was erected by the side of the road established by the Callington Turnpike Trust. However, the milepost appears to post-date the end of the existence of the Trust in 1874. Together with two other, similar stones it occurs at the junction between the Launceston Trust's road and that of the Callington Trust. It also appears to date from after the passing of the Highways and Locomotive Act of 1878. Such later stones did not have incised lettering, but painted signage. Its survival, with two similar examples as a group has historical importance.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The milestone is designated at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
* An example of a late C19 milestone in its original location
* The milestone has group value with the other examples listed on this route
