868/0/10199 B3273 03-AUG-10 Trewhiddle (Northwest side) Milestone 100m NE of Trewhiddle Lodge

II DESCRIPTION: A milestone, erected circa 1826, marks the road between St Austell and Meragissey, now the B3273. The milestone is situated on the west side of the road within a wide verge.

The stone is granite and whitewashed. It is rectangular in plan with a rounded top and measures circa 0.91m high and 0.40m in width. The face of the milestone is inscribed with black lettering which reads:- 'ST A 1' with a large benchmark above the inscription.

HISTORY: The milestone near Trewhiddle Lodge stands on the southern road from St Austell to Mevagissey via London Apprentice and Pentewan. The road was not established as a turnpike road and was first recorded on the C & J Greenwood's county map of 1827. During the early C19 it is likely that the road was used to transport china clay from St Austell to harbour at Pentwewan. The harbour was built by Sir Christopher Hawkins between 1818 and 1826. A railway, built parallel to the road was subsequently constructed in 1829 to transport the clay.

The location of the milestone is marked on the first edition (1888) Ordnance Survey map and records the distance from St Austell as one mile. A similar inscription can also be seen on the second (1907) edition map.
