Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Distance marker on the city walls - 1 mile ½. This stone indicates the distance of '1 Mile ½' from the Eastgate. In the 18th century the city walls were substantially repaired and made into a promenade around the city, and there are many dates carved into the walls indicating when each section was rebuilt. Although this stone is not dated it seems likely that it was inserted around that time. So far I have found stones - '¼ Mile' near the Phoenix Tower 632899, '¾ Mile' near the Queen's School 657697, '1 Mile' above the Roodee 657713, and this one between the Old Dee Bridge and the Recorder's Steps. The inscriptions are all worn and tend to be almost invisible without the light at the right angle. |
