In the centre of Osbournby, this milepost is well cared for, but a mile up the road, the Aswarby post languishes down a ditch, invisible to road users, un-painted, rusting and almost forgotten.

 

Lincolnshire A15 Gazetteer entry

 

This paragraph, about milestones on the road through Saltfleetby, comes from a history of Louth.  Click the link below for the full text.

"The Main Road was known as a turnpike and was maintained by a system of toll bars where a set rate was charged for the different kinds of traffic. Prior to the last war, there were milestones on the right hand side of the road; these were made of iron, replacing those of stone, which were so ancient as to be almost undecipherable. This was the only road in the Marsh where I have seen milestones, which, in a sense, proves its antiquity."
