Hi Tony
Is it a cross or a mileage marker? The lettering at the top might indicate the latter, though of course they might have adapted an old cross. The hatching on the shaft of the cross tells me though that the monument is possibly not medieval, maybe eighteenth century also going by the style of lettering.

Not sure chris. i assume from Marks link it is not as old as i thought. still i put it up as its interesting.
Oh aye, as per the link, not a cross:
"Sandstone Signpost, Thingwall
This sandstone signpost, dated 1776, is inscribed with the initials of James Clemens, Lord Mayor of Liverpool 1775-1776 who owned the lovely house, Ashfield, which was recently demolished following a fire. Situated at the junction of Thomas Lane and Thingwall Lane, the entrance to Ashfield can be seen behind the pillar."
To whet your appetite until I get there.
