Full description
[1]: On the corner of Wide Lane there was a large boundary stone embedded at the base of the boundary wall. (Sketch map shows location on west corner at junction of Mansbridge Road and Wide Lane.)
IP 7/7/08: This boundary stone isn't shown on OS maps back to 1869, although the 1869 and 1896 maps [3][4] show a "Guide Post", although apparently in the road. The maps do show a boundary line here however, perhaps a parish boundary (not checked). Photos of this corner in [2] do not show a boundary stone. ([1] refers to the demolition of the nearby Grange in 1960, whereas that building was demolished in 1973/4 (see MSH2996). [1] could therefore be refering to any time in the 1950s to 1974.) Further research required.
