Looking northwards towards Link top and Malvern Link. The milestone on the left ("To Worcester Cross 8 Miles") has a wall built around and over it. Large, late 18th/early 19th century houses line the eastern side of the road. A recent dropped kerb crossing point has been added on the side of the pavement allowing wheelchair users easier access to the opposite side of the road. The bobbled surface of the light yellow surface is to assist visually impaired pedestrians to locate the crossing point. [[1778037]]

To Worcester Cross 8 Miles. The milestone has had a large Malvern granite wall built around it. There is supposed to be a pivot bench mark on the top of the stone and the arrow mark is clearly visible, though the top is hidden by the wall. There is, however, a horizontal mark on the wall above the stone. The bench mark has been given the Waypoint number PV0146 on the bench mark database:- http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm31278
