Red sandstone marker located between Nos 417 and 419 London Road. Inscribed : CC 1912. In that year the municipal borough and civil parish of Carlisle was extended, taking in the townships of Harraby, Upperby, and Botcherby together with parts of Belle Vue, Cummersdale and Stanwix (Kelly's directory of Cumberland and Westmorland, 1914).

In grass verge of the A6 on the line of the northern boundary of #419 London Road, the stone has the Milestone Society National ID: CU_CL03pb

Ordnance Survey pivot benchmark described on the Bench Mark Database at www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm74946 The mark was levelled at 45.350m above Newlyn Datum verified 1972, and at 148.702 feet above Liverpool Datum during the 1841/44 Liverpool to Port Carlisle 1GL Survey.

Metal plates attached to stone post by the A6, in parish of Carlisle (Carlisle District), London Road, by No. 405, in Carleton, 50m North West of junction with Blundell Road, by drive entrance in pavement with back to a wall, on East side of road. Carlisle red stone numeral, erected by the Carlisle & Eamont Bridge Turnpike Trust in the 19th century. Inscription reads:- : 16 : : 2 : Carved benchmark on top. Grade II listed. List Entry Number: 1196926 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1196926 Milestone Society National ID: CU_PRCL16.

There is an OS pivot on the milestone. It marks a point 45.35m above mean sea level.

Outside No 431 London Road - a few doors down from Mallyclose Drive, where a bus is waiting to turn out. The stone is half buried in the footway, with the garden wall built around it. Dating from the early 19th century, it marks the boundary between Harraby and Carleton, which at that time were two small townships in the parish of St Cuthbert http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/stcuthbert_f.html . There is a good close-up photo, and further information, at Images of England http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=386786 . The boundary stone is Grade II listed. We believe the details given by Historic England https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1217855 show the wrong grid reference, locating it outside No. 419 (where there is a city boundary stone http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5222645 ). Might get round to contacting them one day.

The stone is set into the front roadside wall of #431 London Road
