&gt; My idea is that it might be the location of a (now disused??) <br/>

&gt; for &quot;ceramiczny&quot;. But it could stand for something else as well, of<br/>

meat processing plant (&quot;zakład mięsny&quot;). Anyhow, it doesn&#39;t explain <br/>
why they would have left out the number of the border marker. <br/>
