Boundary stone at NGR SJ 972 573
II
Boundary stone. Dated 1855. Stone. The stone is inscribed 'LIA
1855 L.B.' and marks the outer limit of the administrative
area established by the Leek Improvement Act of 1855.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the act set up a commission with powers to
enact improvements in the town, and to establish markets, a
cemetery, to manage the water works and markets etc. It marked
the beginning of municipal government in Leek. For the
purposes of the act, the boundaries of the town were
established as a circle with its centre in the centre of the
Market Place. Wherever this circular line crossed rights of
way and watercourses, the boundary was marked by a stone post,
several of which still survive.
