Fossil Tree Milepost (NCN), Furzton Lake

1 of 1000 Millennium cast iron mileposts funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland to mark the creation of the National Cycle Network. These mileposts are found along cycles routes throughout the UK. There are four different types, "Fossil Tree" (designed by John Mills), "The Cockerel" (designed by Iain McColl), Rowe Type by Andrew Rowe, and "Tracks" (designed by David Dudgeon). The four artists are from each country of the UK, though all posts can be found in all four countries. This post 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.
