The boundary crossed the main road here and went up the steps, the eastern side, so that the steps were in Sowerby Bridge rather than Halifax. The 1893 1:2500 map shows the stone at the other side of the road. Why the inscription has been chiselled away I don’t know, but what can be seen of it at the foot fits ‘Sowerby Bridge’.
