Branksome: Dorset side of the former boundary marker

The west facing side of the Image confirms that this was (until 1974) the Dorset side of the border (it refers to the side it faces, rather than being a 'welcome' sign for the traveller seeing this side of the pillar). Miss Durrant, named on the plaques, was the late-19th-century owner of the Branksome estate which straddled the boundary.
