Description
The boundary stone, dated 1855, is located on Ashbourne Road in Leek. Made of stone, it is inscribed with 'LIA 1855 L.B.' and marks the outer limit of the administrative area established by the Leek Improvement Act of 1855. This act created a commission with the authority to implement improvements in the town, including the establishment of markets and a cemetery, as well as the management of water works. This boundary stone signifies the beginning of municipal government in Leek. The boundaries of the town were defined as a circle centered in the Market Place, with stones marking the boundary wherever it crossed rights of way and watercourses; several of these stones still exist.
