Bench mark on 'The Wirral Stone', Willaston
This Ordnance Survey bench mark is on the south west face of what is known as the Wirral Stone alongside the B5151 Hadlow Road. This set of three stones, which would have served as horse mounting steps is believed to mark the centre of The Wirral Hundred, and also be the origin of the name Willaston - Image The stones stand at the junction of the B5151 and the A540 Chester High Road, which has been much widened over the years. As a result of the road alterations the stones have been moved at least once and were placed in this position in 1993 - Image Consequently the bench mark is out of place and is no longer on the Ordnance Survey database.
