caption_attribution_description: English: The Crowstone This was erected in 1837 and replaced the original, smaller stone, dating from 1755. The line between the Crowstone (or Crow Stone) and the 326111 marked the end of the City of London's authority over the River Thames. It is an important landmark on this section of coast and can be walked out to when the tide is out. The corresponding upstream marker is the 326070.
context_page_description: London Stone is the name given to a number of boundary stones that stand beside the rivers Thames and Medway, which formerly marked the limits of jurisdiction of the City of London.
context_section_description: The marker on the north bank is almost due north of Yantlet Creek and is called the Crow Stone (also known as Crowstone or City Stone). It stands at grid reference TQ857852 on the mud opposite the end of Chalkwell Avenue, Southend-on-Sea (two nearby roads are called Crowstone Avenue and Crowstone Road). It was erected in 1837 and replaced a smaller stone, dating from 1755. The older stone was removed to Priory Park in Southend, where it remains today. It is likely that there has been a marker on this site and at Yantlet since 1285.
  The line between the Crow Stone and the London Stone, Yantlet Creek is known as the Yantlet Line and was used as the boundary for various things, including at one time the limit of jurisdiction of the Port of London Authority.
