Boundary stone on Horn's Mill Bridge, Dunham-on-the-Hill

An old boundary stone in the middle of the bridge that carries the A56 over Peckmill Brook/Hornsmill Brook. The west side of the stone seems to be inscribed 'DUNHAM', but the east side is damaged and doesn't seem to be inscribed. Although modern maps show the West side is in Dunham on the Hill and Hapsford and the East side is now in Helsby (since 1936)... so the east side would have been in Alvanley. There is also a more modern 'CHESTER 2000' boundary stone a few metres to the west SJ4874 : Modern boundary stone on Horn's Mill Bridge, Dunham-on-the-Hill Milestone Society National ID: CH_DUHAHE01pb

Modern boundary stone on Horn's Mill Bridge, Dunham-on-the-Hill

A modern boundary stone on the west side of the bridge that carries the A56 over Peckmill Brook/Hornsmill Brook. The inscription reads 'CHESTER 2000', so presumably it is to commemorate the millennium. This stone is a few metres to the west of the old boundary stone SJ4874 : Boundary stone on Horn's Mill Bridge, Dunham-on-the-Hill so isn't actually on the boundary, which is the centre of the brook.
