The word "Bath" has been obscured by roadworks. The distances are approximately 2 miles to Widcombe and 1 1/2 miles to Combe Hay.

A crossroads of ancient carriageways here in the south of Bath: the Roman road and the ditch works converge around this point. Such a prominent landscape feature inevitably attracted the attention of the planners and administrators, as witnessed by the boundary markers of various ages. See Image] for a closer look at the white one.

A boundary marker of over a hundred years stands a little lower on the road surface these days. It's interesting to note how the current boundary is now defined as Bath an North East Somerset - whereas Bath and Somerset were separate in the past. See Image] for a wider view of more markers.
