Two Municipal Boundary Markers inside the railings of Peverell Park on the southeast side of the A386 Outland Road, Plymouth, opposite Meredith Road. On the left is DV_PCBS68pb, inscribed JOHN PETHICK / 1900. A boundary revision took place in 1898 when Plymouth Borough acquired some additional territory to the north of the town from Pennycross. This took the northern boundary up to what is now Outland Road opposite the present Devonport High School for Girls. On the right is DV_PLTV08Bpb, BOROUGH / OF / DEVONPORT / 1898 / W. HORNBROOK / MAYOR. The Devonport Extension Act 1898 added parts of St Budeaux parish to Devonport.
