Description
This is a municipal boundary stone made of sandstone, erected in 1889 on the east side of Hufling Lane, near the site of the former Towneley railway station. The round-headed stone pillar stands approximately 1 meter tall. It features a moulded cast-iron plaque in the shape of a barbed quatrefoil set into its western face. Although weathered, the plaque displays in relief the coat of arms of Burnley, surrounded by the lettering 'BURNLEY MUNICIPAL BOROUGH BOUNDARY 1889'.
