Boundary Posts.
(1) Dated 1827 for the Bath Turnpike Trust. Cast iron post, triangular on plan with a half-pyramidal top. Raised lettering reads: 1827/ WIDCOMBE - BATH TURNPIKE TRUST (written up the body of the post) - SOUTH STOKE.
(2) Dated 1912. Cast iron triangular post with half pyramidal top. Raised lettering up the body of the post reads: CITY OF BATH/SOMERSET C.C..
(3) Boundary post, probably dated 1804. Ashlar upright with semi-circular head. Incised lettering reads: P/L AND W/(1804).
History: The earliest of these parish boundary markers, of which many survive, were erected while James Loudon McAdam was engineer to the Bath Turnpike Trust. Across the road is a mid-C20 finger-post (lying outside the City boundary), forming a group reflecting the historical development of road signage.
