History of Maidenhead Boundary Stones
The Maidenhead Boundary Walk, established in 1582, features historic boundary stones. These stones, marked with “MB” and the year 1934, were placed around the borough. Despite discrepancies in the number of remaining stones over the years, efforts to document and preserve them continue, with the hope of their lasting presence for the 100-year anniversary in 2034.
