This GC showcases one of the milestones unique to Worcestershire, designed in the 1930s by Harold Brooke Bradley, the County Deputy Surveyor, as 'fit for the motor-car age' - most milestones date from 1700-1800s, for coach travellers. There were 200 such milestones, removed to baffle German invaders in WWll then mostly re-installed. The large plate of "Stourport 7" was stolen by professional thieves in 2019, but was replaced by The Milestone Society in 2021, from a legacy by member Ron Bubb. Look out for the other Bradley stones along our highways!
Park in the layby on the Ombersley slip road and walk back 26 yards - the cache is hidden under a flat stone a metre or so from the base of the multi-trunked tree. You can find out more about the county's milestones on the Milestone Society's website, Milestone Society
