My new neighbour, with whom we have cultivated good relations by lending

The boundary was marked by the remains of the lone gone fence. Which is
now covered by tarmac to a few of inches on my side, which is a great
improvement so I am not complaining, but I have apparently lost a few
inches of land. I had previously marked the boundary at both ends by
chisel marks in concrete, so a bit of string will tell me where it is.

Has any one any good ideas as to how I could re-mark the boundary?
I was thinking of whacking thin line with a bolster.


Could you not get your half tarmac'd as well..?


On this particular point I have often wondered exactly how boundaries are
marked.

What I mean is if this is a drive between two houses ,somewhere ..Land Registry
perhaps ?...there must be a drawing to show exactly where the land of one
neighbour ends and the land of the next door neighbour begins . How is this
delineated (sp) .Do they show a distance from one house to the boundary .

What would happen if ,for example,the house was destroyed in an explosion and
had to be pulled down .What would they use as a marker then ?
