Passing the Milestones : Famous Milestones ; second series : booklet published by National Benzole Co. Ltd., : London : c.1932 : Skull & Crossbones milestone, Cheshire

            One of two small booklets issued as advertiisng and publciity material by the National Benzole Co. Ltd of London in about 1932. Each shows examples of a selection of surviving milestones across Great Britain and gives a little history as to each. Each page also contains an admonition as to why you should buy petrol or fuel containing National Benzole; the company being the umbrella organisation owned by British benzole producers and that distributed it as a blended additive to petroleum spirit.

The covers show the same contemporary speeding motor car and an ancient stone. This is for the second series of "Famous Milestones: issued called Passing the Milestones. This doubel page shows the "Skull & Crossbones" milestone at Woodhead in Cheshire where the stone at this repudletly deadly corner was kept in repair by the publican of the adjacent "Georeg & Dragon Inn". The image shows the junction, along with the milestone and a fine finger post, and a passing bus - a Leyland by the looks of it but which operator?
