REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The milepost at Royal Oak Inn (NGR SK2433524765) is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * it is a well-preserved early-C19 milepost in its original location * it has group value with other listed mileposts on this route * as a reminder of the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes which facilitated the transport needs of the increasingly industrial landscape of C18 Staffordshire.
