Had a welcome visit from Graham Smith (Master of the local Roadmaster) who donated his SDS Breaker to the cause. Graham works hard on behalf of the Railway and knows all their is to know about "local" Broadway. Thanks Graham.
John Balderstone and Bernard Dudfield called in by also and as a new boy I always end up a bit wiser for their advice, solicited or not! Cheers gents!
PS Jim, the lads couldn't find that mile post - they were very grumpy!

Hi Bill,
It's a GWR boundary marker dtd 1905. Go through the gate and diagonally across Childswickham Road to a wide gap, with a "Footpath" sign (DON'T go under the bridge, the entrance is on this side)! In front of you, you'll see a stream with a concrete beam across it - DON'T go over it!
Instead, turn right, into the undergrowth, on this side of the stream and, by a couple of trees, the observant will see some rusty old cast-iron, laying on the ground, in the shape of a cross (probably made of old broad-gauge rail (the GWR didn't waste ANYTHING)!
At the other end of this object (approx 4'), you'll find attached, the round boundary marker.
Bring it home!!!!
