After trusts closed in 1880s or 1890s on some roads with missing milemarkers a standardised metal post with 2 white faces with black paint that the Milestones Society calls Bucks Pressings.This is one of 116 modern records compared with 230 in ancient sorces according to PG.Thin bowed slabs with bowed top with metal plate screwed on front raised capital letters mileage rose from to 58 miles to London just west of Buckingham to 73 at Nethercote just east of Banbury.
