Hi Cadfael & Chris.
Firstly - apologies for my first estimation that the first photo was taken a few yeats ago - i have since been past the milepost and the brown box thing still sits unpretty at the kerbside. Also, the most obvious timestamp of the photo was the new flags/concrete splashes on the wall, these occurred mid 2007 when the water main pipes were replaced.
My online investigation regarding the Knotty Ash Historical Society drew a blank. I couldnt even find any info of substance for either the society or the milepost itself.
Cadfael - I'm very glad you posted the second picture of the delapitated finial as you are now aware exactly what my intentions are (if legally possible).
Chris - thanks for pointers, Ive no idea what the finial looked like previously but I can only imagine that it was a double sided arrow pointer as only 2 destinatiosn are on the milepost. These are Broadgreen & Thingwall Lane thoroughfare. I haven't had a chance to ask the people who live adjacent to the milepost coz Ive been busy finishing off the tiling in my mums kitchen (for my sins). I'll have time tomorrow tho.

thanks again gents, I'm off to do some more investigative work thanks to your info
