I would like to say that it was before my time but it definitely wasn't and I've no idea whatsoever.     ???

I'll have a pop at something topical and say the UK referendom of 1975 which  was a post-legislative referendum held on 5 June 1975 in the United Kingdom to gauge support for the country's continued membership of the European Economic Community (EEC)

Elf oil from France wanting to get into the British Market.

After a few weeks the adverts were painted over to leave just

"NOW FOR BRITAIN IT'S ELF"

  Of course, Yorkie comes up with the correct answer.

  Did you know this, or have you dug around to find out?  I didn't think anyone would even remember these signs. I remember them, but I have got a peculiar talent at remembering absolutely useless things.

   The important ones I forget with ease

At the time I was working for a French Company and we were encouraged to put Elf oils etc. in the vehicles.  Must confess I did check it out on the PC but only found one minor reference to it in a book review about Billboard Advertising.  If anyone tried on Google I doubt they would have come up with the answer.

This milestone is in front of a building.    What is the building and where is it ?     $walesflag$

Nice try Bri but the distance doesn't agree with that on the milestone.    You're on the right side of the valley though.

Is it somewhere by the school or Y Beddol at Tal yBont?

PS. The Newborough is now a private residence I think.

Yorkie, you're on the wrong side of the river!

Not the Newborough arms either.

Bellringer it could be somewhere by the school or Y Beddol at Tal yBont but where exactly?

On the corner by the Old Mill, which is now a house.   :D

Sorry Yorkie, good try but it's not there.

It is between Y Bedol and the school ( the Dolgarrog school that is) but where is it?

It is just to the right hand side of the Chapel next to the red brick gate post of the adjacent house.  Don't know the name of the chapel.  It is on the river side of the road.  Just taken a drive there on Google Earth!    :D

Well spotted ME.   I've been past the Chapel many times but only noticed it when I went on the Ardda walk recently.          &well&

The photo is of the Chapel but the milestone is to the right and out of sight
