<div id="ygrps-yiv-608052771">Two pictures of the old bedelu. One old stone is standing south of the<br/>
road (B on the little scheme I made). It bears an inscription, but has<br/>
become impossible to decipher. The other marker (B) is a cast iron benl<br/>
type of marker, so it looks like forming part of the delimitation of<br/>
1843, when the border of Belgium with the remaining parts of the<br/>
Netherlands (the Kingdom of the N. and the Gr. Duchy of Luxembourg) was<br/>
demarcated. In other words, this marker should be on the border of<br/>
Luxembourg and the Belgian province of Luxembourg. In those times, the<br/>
adjacent part of the province of Li�ge (the Germanophone part) was part<br/>
of Prussia.<br/>
<br/>
Whether A or B is the old tripoint, and nowadays the secundary<br/>
tripoint, I don&#39;t know (and that&#39;s why I also don&#39;t know if the border<br/>
is following the north or the south roadside - I have drawn both<br/>
possibilities). It could be that it is B, and that A is the first<br/>
marker on the belu border (or the last). But in order for B to have any<br/>
function, this means that the belu border is running on the north side<br/>
of the road west of A, and on the south side east of B. If the border<br/>
runs on the same side of the road both east and west of the two<br/>
markers, A is probably the tripoint, and the border runs on the north<br/>
side, because I think A definitely is a border marker, and I&#39;m not sure<br/>
what B is.<br/>
<br/>
Who can help? Anyone with a detailed enough map of the area?<br/>
