1555/0/10032 (Southwest side) 02-AUG-10 Milestone 120m NW of Halloon Crossing Cottage

GV II A milestone, erected circa 1835-52. The stone is rectangular on plan; it is approximately 0.61m high, has a pent top and dressed front face, which is inscribed NEWQUAY / 7 in sans serif capitals. The back of the stone is undressed. The whole milestone is painted white, with the lettering picked out in black.

HISTORY: The A392 ran along St Columb Road until a by-pass was built in the 1990s. The road was never turnpiked, but provided the main link between Newquay and the main Cornwall spine road, the A30. During the C19, the fortunes of Newquay changed dramatically, with the town moving from a small fishing port, to a major site for the export of china clay, and eventually a holiday resort. Much of the change was due to the town's increasing accessibility by road. The Newquay Highway Board was established under the Highways Act of 1835, and was responsible for the setting-up of milestones, including this example, on the three routes to Newquay: via Indian Queens, Brighton Cross and Mitchell. The disposition and style of these milestones, and their extent, indicates that they were probably erected between the setting-up of the Highways Board in 1835, and the erection of an adjacent run of milestones in Colan parish in 1852.
