Mounting block?
This large stone block is in front of what is now the back gate of a modern property on Prospect Avenue. But the stone itself, and Washer Lane on which it sits, are much older. It might have been either a mounting block, or a milk churn stand. I would guess the former.

The Sowerby Bridge boundary stone at Washer Lane Steps
The boundary crossed the main road here and went up the steps, the eastern side, so that the steps were in Sowerby Bridge rather than Halifax. The 1893 1:2500 map shows the stone at the other side of the road. Why the inscription has been chiselled away I don’t know, but what can be seen of it at the foot fits ‘Sowerby Bridge’.

Looking down Washer Lane Steps
When were these made? The turnpike road at the bottom was constructed following an Act of Parliament of 1824, but Canal Mills between it and the canal could be older, and this might have been the way to it for the workers.
