| Description |
This signpost, dating from the early 1930's, originally stood at the crossroads on the B4031 south of Bloxham. The origin of the milestone is unknown, it probably dates from the creation of the Banbury to Oxford Turnpike Trust in 1755. It stood at the side of that road until the mid 1960's when the road was converted to a dual carriageway. The County Council and its predecessor, the Quarter Sessions, have been the highway authority for the county since the Highways Act of 1555. The signpost symbolises the role of the Oxfordshire County Council in providing and maintaining a countrywide network of services. It also preserves one of the few road signs still remaining from the earlier part of this century. They are readily identifiable by a roundel with the words "Oxford County" or "County of Oxford" - the traditional name for the county. (This image represents an Open Plaques entry) |
