Description
This boundary marker, located opposite the Macauley Buildings on Widcombe Hill, dates back to 1827, although the date is not visible. It is made of cast iron and features a canted shaft with a hipped top. The base is partly covered by later paving and has raised painted inscriptions; on the left side is "WIDCOMBE," while the right side has been erased but likely referenced "Claverton." The narrow front facet displays the inscription "BATH TURNPIKE TRUST."
This marker is part of a series of parish boundary markers established in 1827 by the Bath Turnpike Trust, during the time when John Loudon McAdam served as the engineer for the trust from 1826 to 1836. Widcombe Hill was a significant road connecting the city to Bradford and Trowbridge, as indicated on Harcourt Masters's 1793 map of Bath.
