Details
Chapmanslade BATH ROAD (east side) 7/46 Milestone at junction with Westbury Road the description shall be amended as follows: Milepost. c.1834. Cast iron classical style pillar with weathered and moulded top, raised lettering reads BATH/14/WARMINSTER/3. Mid C18 stone milepost (presumably 1751-2) retained at rear. This road from Warminster to Bath originally turnpiked 1851-2 and consolidated by the Black Dog Trust in 1834 when a new road was made from Woolverton to Bathampton when the old milestones were replaced by these iron ones made by Carson and Miller, a Warminster firm of ironfounders. William McAdam was engineer to the Trust. The post was moved to its present position when the A36/A3098 junction was reconstructed.
