Description
This historic structure is about half a mile from my house in the same road.
TALBOT AVENUE (South side) Boundary pier
Boundary marker. C18 or early C19. Brick, stone capping and inset panels. A brick pier in English bond, c 600mm square and 1.75m high, set on asplayed brick plinth part concealed by later pavement level; a moulded edge to stone capping and a much worn weathered top. Inset on the east face a stone panel with sunk centre, inscribed PARISH OF HOLDENHURST, and on west face a similar panel inscribed COUNTY OF DORSET. The brickwork and capping look earlier than the panels which may be C19 ones replacing worn originals. The marker survives near Talbot Manor despite considerable road works and realignment in the vicinity.

Wonderful capture! Here we have large signs (not very tasteful) marking where we're at.

The preservation of anything old is always problematic here in the Colonies. I get the impression that the English are far less likely to tear down everything just for profit or appearance. Little bits like this give a place such character. Nice capture.
