Summary edit

Description
English: Marker post, Hest Bank This is near to the milestone, and is unusual (or at least I have never seen one like it before). It has the royal cypher, which must be of Edward VII, has space for a measurement in feet and inches, presumably to the line of a cable. As far as I know the only public utility to use the royal cypher is the GPO telephone service, but I thought telephone wires were all overhead in the early 20C.
Correction added by Minoa on 11 October 2022: I have reason to believe that the royal cypher represents Elizabeth II, due to the use of the St Edward's Crown. Compare with image Benchmark, Wetherby Bridge.jpg.
