can be found here about the Fylde coast.
On the road to Natland near Kendal, spotted these two objects. Parked up and photographed them. They are literally 50 yards apart. They are a wooden cross made in/carved in 1999 to mark the Millenium and a milestone, probably iron, painted and well preserved. It was one of the first warm days in spring.
