This cast iron post marks the boundary between the city of Coventry and the parish of Allesley from 1st April 1926, when Coventry was extended westward with the purchase of land from the Stoneleigh estate, which was to become the western suburbs of the city. In 1974 Allesley, too, became part of Coventry, though it retains its own parish council.
