This pair of boundary markers share the traditional City of Nottingham shape. It seems clear that the right hand one, marked Carlton UDC, has come from the same source, but I have not seen any other similar ones relating to Carlton. The provision of two markers is in itself quite unusual; the normal procedure would be to create a shared marked with both authorities' names. Also of interest is that the two markers have different dates. The markers would have been installed here as a result of an expansion of the City of Nottingham boundaries in 1933. The Nottingham marker is seen unobstructed in this image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2427669 .
