I was looking at some old maps and it's marked on one from the sixties (when the pub is there) but not from the 30s or before. Do you think it could have got dug up when they changed the road / built the pub? And then they named the road after it (when they built all the houses along it)?


On the 25" maps from the 19th century, there's a "guide post" shown in the centre of the junction. That stays in place until relatively recently, but as Rhiannon says, the "stone" isn't shown until the 60s.

I did wonder if the "guide post" and "stone" were the same thing, like the "Guide Post" marked on the current OS map at Teddington Cross Hands near Cheltenham, that is in fact the Tibble Stone. But it's not, because the 60s map shows both "stone" and the guide post (as "GP").

It's a mystery.
