Glad to have piqued your interest Vagabond.....the milestone is at the eastern end of the village. But don't go on Wednesday, all the roads are closed and you might get knocked over by some flying cyclists I've also noticed an old signpost at the Shipley crossroads, on the right going towards Alnwick. It has been painted up and is behind the field wall.
I opened my big mouth in the pub last night and have found myself roped into doing some local history articles for the community magazine. I might just do something on the Alnwick Foundry hardware on the roads.
Beanley Moor is fascinating but so are all the moors round the village, full of burial cairns, forts and cup and ring marks. Not forgetting the millstones!
