Harraby-Carleton boundary stone

Outside No 431 London Road - a few doors down from Mallyclose Drive, where a bus is waiting to turn out. The stone is half buried in the footway, with the garden wall built around it. Dating from the early 19th century, it marks the boundary between Harraby and Carleton, which at that time were two small townships in the parish of St Cuthbert http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/stcuthbert_f.html . There is a good close-up photo, and further information, at Images of England http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=386786 . The boundary stone is Grade II listed. We believe the details given by Historic England https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1217855 show the wrong grid reference, locating it outside No. 419 (where there is a city boundary stone http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5222645 ). Might get round to contacting them one day.
