Two Municipal Boundary Markers in Plymouth on the north side of Elm Road, by a garage, opposite Rosamond Stevens Hall and Hillsborough. On the left is Compton Gifford Local Board Boundary Marker DV_CGLB01pb. It is inscribed 1893 / C.G.L.B / R.N.W. / 22. R.N.W. was R N Worth, the chair of the board. On the right is Plymouth Corporation Boundary Marker DV_PCBS35pb. It is inscribed W.F.M. / 1875. W.F.M. was William F Moore, the mayor. These stones were removed without permission in early 2008 and were subsequently recovered by Plymouth City Council. Mark Fenlon of the Milestone Society who made the initial enquiries as to their whereabouts is shown beside the stones after their prompt recovery and reinstatement.
