Milestone opposite Newbridge Wood (NGR
SX1211464862)
GV II
Milestone of c.1834. Triangular in plan with a flat top slightly sloping towards the front. The incised lettering is in Roman capitals with Arabic numerals and painted black. The inscription is to two dressed faces and reads 'L/81/2' and B/4'. The milestone is painted white although this is discoloured and partly worn away.
HISTORY: The Bodmin Turnpike Trust was set up by an Act of Parliament in 1769 and the route was from Bodmin to Liskeard. In November 1834 plans were published for a new route along the Glynn valley and nine milestones were erected along this route. Eight of these nine milestones survive, of which this is one.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION DECISION:
The milestone opposite Newbridge Wood is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* It stands in its original location, and is intact
* It is a good example of an early C19 milestone, illustrating the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes to facilitate the transport needs of the increasingly industrial landscape of C19 Cornwall
