Yet another photo of this milestone, but I wanted to point out that the cast plate has the numbers '20 03' above the top bolt, so I suggest that it is a modern replacement made in 2003? Also the stone has two Ordnance Survey bench marks - the obvious cut mark on the face, which dates to before 1875, and a rivet bench mark on the top surface of the stone, which dates to 1975 - SJ0643 : Rivet bench mark on a Thomas Telford milestone near Corwen.
