Jenkinson, T., 2007, Exeter to Exmouth (Incorporating Sandygate to Topsham Old B3181) (Report - Survey). SDV339943.
Boundary stone (c1822) to the east of Topsham, on the north side of the road at the east end of a bridge, next to a lamp post. The stone is very worn granite, and the right hand side is indecipherable. There is a chip out of the front edge. The location is overgrown in summer. The legend on the left hand side reads 'Top/Sham/P', and the right hand side should read 'St/George/Clyst/P'.
Two routes into Exmouth from the city of Exeter that were turnpiked and had milestones and boundary markers placed at various points. Only a handful survive today and most are very worn, with their legends difficult to decipher. The boundary stones are in very poor condition and have suffered from considerable erosion. Dating the stones here is problematic because the Exeter Turnpike Trust operated from the mid 18th century, and some of the milestones may be of this age, although the boundary stones are later, at c1822. Quite why they are so eroded is unclear and may suggest a greater age than first thought. Other details: Surveyed 07/05/2007.
