I am obliged to fellow geographer John Turner who after 5 years was able to enlighten me as to the significance of this sign. Dated 1934, this post defines the boundary of land once owned by the Grosvenor Chater company, in the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park. Grosvenor Chater were a London paper making company who acquired the nearby Abbey Mill in 1854. The mill closed in 1982 and the company was dissolved in 1992. There is more information about the company https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/dab28981-19ef-31db-890f-d3beb0bc7223?component=6fcd729f-3920-35f9-8b17-56227289a0fe
