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

Saw this a couple of days ago. Wasn't looking for it, just came across it. On a bridge on the A34 near Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire.

Saw a VR post box aswell, but didn't photo it, will have to go again. It was on a downhill, so I didn't want to stop at the time!

Old Lane, path to the bridge across what was the railway line to Queensbury.

Any ideas? First set on a stone in the wall, the second in a stone pillar about 30 foot away.

Cast Iron lamp post, Old Lane. One of a few still in place.

That's an unlisted box. Obviously a well made fake.
MARLOCH AVE/BARDRAINNEY?

It's Central Station...
the Postcode on the VR one is PA15 10, your list is PA15 1 for whatever reason...
thought you'd notice the overhead lines in the background..

Marloch Ave/Bardrainney is a GR VI pillar.. and is in Port Glasgow PA14

Or maybe re-sited?

Number differs as well though, PA15 1 versus PA15 10. The second not on the list.

Several finds on yesterday’s pedal..

Some more of the recent ‘bricks’ made by local kids on the Nene flood defences.

A private GR postbox in Duston.

And a nice VR box in Upper Harlestone.

And this BM on the Fox & Hounds in Lower Harlestone. I de-ivy’d it to save it getting overgrown and lost for ever.

This Flush Bracket is around the back of St Botolph’s church in Chspel Brampton.

This BM is on an old chapel in Old, now a transport and coal yard, run by a local family, the Hamson’s. As I was photographing this benchmark, the owner asks if I needed anything (from the yard). Nope, said I, I’m looking at this BM.
Happily, he was fine with that and knew what it was, telling me that he found another one a few yards down the road on his cottage that he was renovating.

This is the rediscovered one.

The building with the signs on the frontage is the old chapel, and this is how close together the two cut marks are!

The link to the list is in the link to the PA14 post box.

One of the few I haven't snapped but have info..
Pillar, G VI, made by Carron..
Ties in with age of nearby housing being built.

Or maybe re-sited?

The VR is at Greenock Central Station built around 1850?
They've done a lot of work and removed a lot of old 'classic' station furniture, sadly.
They have re-sited the pillar box, I'm sure but has to be by only 20 yards? at most..

One aside , the Suttie type postbox was cast virtually next door circa 1856..

A couple of Flush Brackets on the Grand Union canal near Blisworth today.

This one on a demolished bridge.

And this on the railway bridge over the canal.

Tarbet (A82 Lomondside), Hotel

Meant to look for nearby FBM at Arrochar but cream crackered after a day in the Arrochar Alps

One I bagged a while back without a bike . So whilst passing by tonight i thought i would re do it with my Knight

Wollaston Methodist church.

 

[Tail End Charlie]

This one is on a trig point on the top of The Cloud near Congleton. No bike in picture as there are only footpaths up to it, although I did see some MTB tyre tracks. It's a lawless place.

And the view itself.
