If I can get it, would you take it?
Post Office will not be removing it and those doing the work plan on just breaking it up.

Nice offer, but sadly not. I’ve got nowhere to keep it. It would be a shame if it got broken up though.

On Wakefield Bridge itself, but well-weathered

What's the number on the Bench Mark plate?

 

[Drago]

@classic33 If it weren't so big I'd have that. Hope its rescued and preserved.

Scrap at present is the plan.
Now about that plate?

Seems what I've for years thought was the top of Llanllwni mountain is actually Mynydd Llanfihangel-rhos-y-corn -- 51.998642, -4.179163
Mynydd Llanllwni is about half a mile to the North and does not have a road running over it
What I and most locals think of as Llanllwni mountain is actually more than one mountain

In my defence I'm from that London what do I know
