Milepost 23 / 69 is at Alrewas

Spot the difference between these 2 pictures of the milepost (and it isn’t the weather).

A Winter scene from 2006	A Spring scene from 2009

Did you notice that the post appears to have shrunk! [We seem to recall that the post had been disturbed and there was worry locally that it would be stolen by metal thieves, so it had been concreted in (rather further into the ground than usual!) – Can anybody confirm?] Here are 2 more pictures of it after it shrank.
