Old Boundary Marker on the A394 in Longlands, perhaps
Perhaps a Parish Boundary Marker on the south side of the A394 in Longlands, west of Myrtle Cottage. Stithians parish. On the former boundary of Stithians and Mabe parishes but now entirely in Stithians parish. Not marked on old Ordnance Survey maps and no inscription, so its function is uncertain.

Longdowns Village
I assume that this village probably grew up beside the main road to house the workers at the nearby quarry. Today it could be a pleasant place to live if it was not for the fact that it is torn apart by the main road. Traffic is allowed to tear past on the narrow road at 40 miles per hour (as we know, most drivers regard the speed limit signs as an invitation to drive exactly at the limit and never below). Quite apart from the danger of all this, the noise and fumes are appalling.
