<p>I wonder whether in the early years of the twentieth century when road works were being done for trams lines or some such, whether they found that the original milestone was in the wrong place, needed to re-site it but found the old one was in too poor condition. So perhaps they had a new milepost made and re-sited the old one on Willoughby rather than destroy it? A lot of suppositions there, but it could work.</p> I couldn't.

I couldn't. If you tap the photo, it'll get big enough to judge for yourself. I'm not sure if there are ghosts of the tops of a couple of letters (or parts thereof) to the top left of the stone.

<p>In my youth I made the acquaintance of many a Milestone Inspector along the side roads and by-ways of South Armagh & North Louth, contiguous to the main Belfast-Dublin and Dundalk-Derry roads. Some of my neighbours called them 'tramps', 'vagrants' or, more kindly, 'gentlemen of the road'.

<p>If I remember right you can just read London on it thats all the rest is buried. It could be the lost one from near the Queens Pub. It would be lovely to reveal and install it back to its original location if was moved. I can't see why there would be one located on Willoughby Road? Yes I spotted it about a year ago just walking by one day. If it progresses, it would be great to involve the kids at North Harringay Primary School as a local history project.
