Full Description
Site of a sundial, found somewhere in Maberley Street. It is dated 1692 on its rounded face and the letters 'WI' and 'LS' on its squared side. It was reportedly found at the site of Broadford's Flax Mill (NJ90NW0075) during demolition work in the first few years of the 20th century. Much rebuilding work was done in that area in the years 1901-1912 with a large house and garden being demolished during that period. The sundial is 0.6 m high and 0.38 m wide, with a circa 5 sq cm socket in the base. The sundial was later moved to a garden in Sunnybank Place (NJ90NW0307). and then moved to Potterton.
