Milestones, A30 Staines Road, Bedfont, Feltham and Hounslow

Milestones on the A30 Staines road running through Bedfont and on to Hounslow. Originally placed in 1743 and showing the distance to Hyde Park its now hard to imagine these in their original setting of relatively quiet country lanes. Go back even further and you find out that this was the Roman Road to Silchester.
