Some of the boundaries existed in prehistoric times. The boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire, for instance, near Hebden Bridge, on a large scale, and the border between Darwen and Bolton is marked by a prehistoric ditch. It seems that some stones were erected to mark the join - from this stone to that stone and then the next one. It was used in Medieval times but may have been far older.
