Highway boundary stone, Holmbridge, Austonley
Marking a boundary, but what? The word 'County' suggests that it marks the change from stretch of a road maintained by the county from one maintained by a township, civil parish or Urban District, depending on the date, but the stone isn't on the local authority boundary (between Holme and Austonley), which is the River Holme and Digley Brook.
