The original post was too badly damaged to be re-installed. Below is a picture which was captioned “Old Shelton post fished out of the cut at Stone 17th April 1983“, which is therefore probably this post.
This is the replacement milpost, shown here being unveiled
The plaque reads :
THIS MILEPOST IS DEDICATED TO
JOSIAH WEDGEWOOD FRS, 1730-1795
FATHER OF ENGLISH POTTERS AND
PIONEER OF THE
TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL
UNVEILED BY SIR ARTHUR BRYAN
H.M. LORD LIEUTENANT
OF STAFFORDSHIRE, CHAIRMAN OF
JOSIAH WEDGWOOD & SONS LIMITED
ON THURSDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 1985
REPLACED BY THE
TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL SOCIETY
