Boundary stone, High Moor Lane, Shepley / Shelley This stone is not shown on old 1:2500 maps, although others are shown on the boundary. The boundary is along the centre of the lane between two watercourse crossings. Shelley and Shepley Local Boards made an agreement for the joint repair of High Moor Lane in August 1891 (Huddersfield Chronicle via Huddersfield Exposed). As this stone is approximately half-way along the lane between the watercourses perhaps the two local boards decided share the responsibility by dividing the length of lane into two.
