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

Final pics from my Cambridgeshire jolly...

Defunct radio telescopes, just off the A603 SW ish of Cambridge.
They're on rusted rails so they would have been able to move over a mile of tracks.
The Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Lord's Bridge, and the university own the site, and presumably the Trig Point I posted pics of up-thread a bit.

Quite a spooky place...

Just one on today’s ride, by The Bull in the Oak, Market Bosworth ish.

Hood's Well (Port Glasgow Station)

The well was built at the behest of James Hood, retiring stationmaster circa 1843. Over the years, the area got overgrown and the well was 'lost'. Renovation works in the early 2000s(?) found this and the well was almost restored in all its glory. Sadly a vital part was missing but in 2015,, a parcel containing the missing lion's head was handed in.

Here’s a few from a walk around Olney today.

A different kind of GR box.

FB 1797 on the old Cowper Works, at the top of the High Street.

FB 2796 on 28, High Street.

A couple of NRW utility plaques on Hole Lane. There’s loads of them in Olney, but these were amongst the best examples.

St Serfs is in common use in the Fife area.

If you see any Scottish town with KIL at the start, its 'the church of'.
We must really have needed saved
