Canterbury enjoyed county status,
separate from Kent, from the 1500s onwards. With the coming of county boroughs
and setting up of County Councils in 1888, Canterbury was again, amazingly,
granted separate status. At the time its population of around 25,000 was just
half the target threshold of 50,000, and half that of the second smallest county
borough. The reorganisation of 1972 removed this privilege, but the boundaries
of Canterbury County survive partially in the form of marker stones. This stone,
marked CCC No 26a, is sited in Nackington Road junction with Langton
Lane, Canterbury, Kent.
