As
part of the Millennium celebrations, 1000 Millennium Mileposts were erected
around the National Cycle Network.
There are four different types of Millennium Mileposts. This
milestone marker type was one of the first post designs to be commissioned. It
was designed by John Mills, and his piece was entitled The Fossil Tree. The post
takes the form of an abstract tree with relief imagery of fossils depicting the
passage of time from early primitive creatures to the ultimate demise of fossil
fuel driven technology. Wales, Scotland and N/Ireland had their own commissioned
posts, and most posts seemed to have received a different colour scheme.
