Thames & Severn Canal milestone, Eysey Manor Farm
One of two canal milestones outside the entrance to Eysey Manor Farm (see SU1194 : Eysey Manor and SU1194 : Thames & Severn Canal milestone, Eysey Manor Farm). The milestones stand very near the site of Eysey Manor Bridge. Link

) Now a causeway, the bridge crossed the now disused Thames & Severn Canal. Link
This milestone reads: "Walbridge 22½ Inglesham 6¼” . As the mileage on the other stone is different, at least one must have been moved from its original position, probably this one, judging from the amount of base exposed.
Behind, set in the wall near the entrance to the farm, is an ER postbox.
