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 next to Droit House on Margate Harbour and is showing signs of
corrosion from the salt air.
