Dean Ditch Boundary Stones
​Winter Hill

Picture
Along the northern edge of Winter Hill runs a wall and ditch marking the Parliamentary boundary between Bolton and Blackburn.  It continues along the northern edge of Anglezarke over Spitlers and Redmonds Edge.
The ditch, known as Dean Ditch predates the wall which was built in the 1840's.
If you look closely at old and modern maps, you will see B.S. annotations marking the spot of boundary markers.
