Milepost 23

Milepost 23 is situated between Alton and Denstone beside the former Churnet Valley railway, and is one of the six reinstated as part of the CVLLP project. It has been relocated to put it at the start of the section of towpath restored by the Trust, but would originally have stood a short distance behind its present location, facing the canal.

The post was reinstated by CUCT volunteers in June 2016. A plinth was added in November 2019, with the plaque to be fitted later.
