Description

This boundary marker dates from 1864 and originally marked the limits of the jurisdiction of the then Municipal Corporation of Londonderry. The Corporation had sought and received permission from Parliament to extend the city's boundaries in 1864 to include newly populated areas. The marker is one of a series supplied by Mr. Thomas Miles, who was a business associate of William Coppin, a local sailor, shipbuilder, and inventor. It is likely that this post, like others, bears Coppin’s maker’s mark on its base, although it is now obscured. The marker was originally positioned on the opposite side of Northland Road and was moved to its present location sometime after 1973, as evidenced by map comparisons.
