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.
This milepost is sited on Bysing Wood Road near Oare, Kent.
