Milepost 10 ~ Findern

Link to picture of milepost This milepost is directly opposite what was the Greyhound pub at Findern (which was called the Canal Turn for a while before reverting back to its old name) and is another of the TMCS replacement posts.
Link to picture of Findern bridge It is adjacent to a traditional hump-backed canal bridge which has since been overshadowed a bridge that was presumably built with the coming of the railway line that accompanies the canal along this stretch.
Link to picture from Greyhound The pub is currently being redeveloped.
