Building record TQ 55 NW 435 - Building, St Botolph's Road, Sevenoaks

The two boundary markers which are located at the Vine end of St Botolph's Road have worn inscriptions indicating that they were probably the boundary markers placed there around 1869 by the Trustees of St Botolph's without Bishopsgate, to mark the boundary of the estate. They are made of cast iron which appears to have been infilled with concrete. They are in poor condition. One is near the bus stop. It has had a cast iron attachment to the front panel which is now missing save for the last vestige of it which can be seen at the bottom with the letter 'P' on it and also what is probably the next letter 'H' disappearing into the pavement. The other is at the junction of St Botolph's Road with Pound Lane. It is of similar construction but has two pieces of the cast iron attachment remaining, one at the top and one at the bottom of the front panel. It appears to have had 3 vertical lines going from top to bottom. The only remains of the first line are on the bottom piece with the letters 'OLPH'. The second line has the letter 'B' on the top piece and the letters 'SGATE' on the bottom piece. The third line only has the numbers '71' on the bottom piece. (1)
