LEEK CHEDDLETON ROAD (East side) Boundary stone at NGR SJ 987 552
II
Boundary stone. Dated 1855. Stone. The stone is inscribed 'LIA 1855 L.B.' and marks the outer limit of the administrative area established by the Leek Improvement Act of 1855. HISTORICAL NOTE: the act set up a commission with powers to enact improvements in the town, and to establish markets, a cemetery, to manage the water works and markets. It marks the beginning of municipal government in Leek. For the purposes of the act, the boundaries of the town were established as a circle with its centre in the centre of the Market Place. Wherever this circular line crossed rights of way and watercourses, the boundary was marked by a stone post, several of which still survive.
