An old milestone, displaying 1 (mile from Deal) and 73 (miles from
London), which is sited at the corner of London Road and Milestone
Road in Deal, Kent. Until the introduction of the
Turnpike Trusts
in the 18th century, no milestones had been erected since Roman times,
so quite probably this milestone was placed when what is now London
Road, was constructed around 1820.
