This was on the boundary between Halifax and Skircoat. Skircoat Civil Parish had been administered by the Sowerby Bridge local board and Halifax borough since the mid-19C, and in 1894 these parts became fully integrated into Sowerby Bridge UDC and Halifax County Borough. The remaining area was a small civil parish in Halifax RDC (Rural District Council). In 1899 this too was transferred to Halifax. That might have been when the names were chiselled from the stone.
