Painted milepost at Foxholes


Since I showed you the new Sustrans milepost at Foxholes in June it has been painted this vivid blue colour.

1000 Millennium cast iron mileposts were funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland to mark the creation of the National Cycle Network, and are to be found along the cycle routes through the UK. There are four different types of posts, "Fossil Tree" by John Mills, "The Cockerel" by Iain McColl, Rowe Type by Andrew Rowe, and "Tracks" by David Dudgeon. The four artists are from each country of the UK though all posts can be found in all four countries. This one on National Cycle Network Route #62 and the Trans Pennine Trail is by Andrew Rowe.

A contribution to signs, signs.
