Tutbury Civic Society is arranging for the listing of the London 129 Milepost, located alongside the A511 (Formerly A50), near the top of Tutbury Bypass.

The 129 was removed during the construction of the bypass, and there were fears that it had been lost, but Tutbury Civic Society persevered with the Civil Engineering Contractor(s) who constructed the new road, and part of Tutbury’s history has now been restored. Bulbs and wild flowers have since been planted to enhance the milepost.

Action is being taken to give the entire Park Pale earthwork the benefit of registration as an ancient monument. This would stop any further deterioration, due to speculative metal detecting and /or unsympathetic agricultural activity.
