Parish Boundary Marker on the southwest side of the junction of Mickley Lane and Baslow Road, Sheffield. Inscribed A St J C / 1877 (Abbeydale St John Consolidated Chapelry). This stone originally said "A St J C C / 1877" with a number. This stands for Abbeydale St John Consolidated Chapelry. This appears to be No 2: there were six of them originally, and it would be interesting to know if any others have survived or been swallowed up in later housing developments. Full details of the boundary and locations of the others are in the London Gazette of 25 January 1878, pages 391-392. See https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/24546/page/391.
