What is recorded here

Allerley Well Park still keeps its 19th-century gatepiers on Newcastle Road, two stone sentinels framing a boundary wall that once marked the edge of a private world. They stand in the Scottish Borders like a threshold between ordinary street life and the hidden green breath of the well below. The precision of their location suggests someone valued the line between ownership and exclusion, yet the park now invites everyone across that same stone.
