The other one seems to be a bit of a mystery. However, what I have found is this - "This stone is the milestone which marked the one mile from Preston town centre along the old Liverpool route via Penwortham Old Bridge." If something else I've read is correct, it used to have an info plate which read "Preston 1, Ormskirk 17."
Hey Eric The Huntsman is a great SAK. And if you carry it with you for so long, it acquires a special value. These scuffs and scars cannot be bought. Beautiful these old wooden barrels. I assume today production is only done in huge stainless steel tanks?
