Preserved milepost, Bangor
A preserved milepost at Bangor Museum.
The milepost records that Bangor is 1 mile away, Holywood 5 miles away and Belfast 9 miles away (according to the museum the distances are in Irish Miles). Looking at some historic ordnance survey maps, it would appear that this milepost would have been situated on the Belfast Road (now known as the Old Belfast Road) at approximately J48218057. See J5579 : Old milepost, Cottown, J4174 : Milepost, Dundonald and J4974 : Milepost, Newtownards for similar examples still in situ.
