The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

[Katherine]

Not sure how 'original' this is! The picture on the stone tells you the name of the pub. It is on the old part of the A57 so I guess it's an old coaching inn.

This morning's haul

This utility marker in Stoke Goldington

Then this mile stone between Gayhurst and Stoke Goldington.

Then another mile stone just before Emberton

And guess what yes another one just opposite Emberton Park .

Must have ridden past all of them load's of times and never noticed them before.

A very grockly trig point, but hey, it's Christmas...

Spotted this BM on the junction of Military Road and Bailiff Street Northampton, this afternoon.
Looks like the person repointing the brickwork got a bit carried away!! <doh>

Out for a stroll with the pooch today and remembered looking at the website and it pointing this out

The drill hall in wolverton

As you can see, Alf wasn't that interested in this one either

 

[Drago]

That's the olde Oxfordshire and Bucks regiment hall. I think the air cadets use it now?

Correct.

It's a very good looking building

Correct.

It's a very good looking building

At least its getting used , too many of these older building sat empty

I've had a conversation about a benchmark I posted earlier on in the thread should be quite interesting and I'll post it when I havent had a beer because it's New Year

Best wishes

A few from todays ride.

First one, a nice, well defined, BM on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Cuthbert church, in Bedford town centre.

Then this loophole in Newton Blossomville.
The enemy would have quaked in their boots if a blunderbus was loosed of at them from there!

Last find was on St Peter's church, Tyringham.

At least the wind and rain gave them all a good wash and dry today!!

Happy New Year triggers

A couple from this morning's ride

A V R post box in Cottesbrooke

And a benchmark that I think @PeteXXX logged a while back on one of the pubs in Brixworth .

 

[PeteXXX]

@biggs682 yep, I remember that one.

Have you already logged this one in Ecton village? It’s on No. 78, across the road from the alms houses.

This old lamppost was originally one erected outside the home of the local Town Provost ( a Jock version of Mayor).
It had an ornate light with the local authority crest on all four panes of glass, sadly now left to the vagaries of everything.

The same as this.

That second one looks like target practise for the local scrotery!
Nice find.

Don't think so , only remember the one on the church in all fairness
