Sundial - Liverpool Road

Inscription

1903 - 2003

VIII IX X

Site: Sundial - Liverpool Road (1 memorial)

N7, Liverpool Road, 344

This 1820s terrace, numbers 338 - 344, of semi-detached villas was listed in 1975 but that doesn't tell us what happened in 1903 that was so momentous its centenary was thought worthy of commemoration with this sundial.  Can anyone explain?
