County Boundary Post near Stalbridge
On the A357 at the junction with Landshire Lane stands this boundary post. Cast-iron, V-shaped at the base, bevelled top dated 1909; DORSET vertically to the left, and SOMERSET vertically to the right. One of a number probably erected by Somerset. Note also the well-maintained SCC finger post.

County boundary, Henstridge
Beside the finger post at the junction of the A357 and Landshire Lane is a cast iron boundary post. The finger post itself has a crude correction on it.

Henstridge: close-up of erroneous old sign
A closer look at
Image, showing that the Stalbridge and Bournemouth finger was embossed with the road number A359, altered rather crudely to the correct A357 in the paintwork.
Since the opposite finger is correctly embossed, I am assuming this is a genuine mistake rather than the result of reclassification.
