Been off cycling up the Great Glen....

Just out of interest, what are you using to locate these benchmarks? Until now I've simply been researching them and the visiting them, but I'm thinking about downloading them all onto Viewranger of some such.

Local central libraries where the maps are kept. And knowing where some of them should be.

Most railway bridges tend to have one mark.

Some of the 'old map site' maps have benchmark locations on them...

I keep thinking there must be at least one more benchmark in Harrold each time I ride through it .

Well there is and I found it this morning on the corner of Dove lane and the high street.

Got some nice old buildings in the village like this old bandstand .

There used to be a bridge over here, carrying 4 lines, & a couple of sidings to Ackton Hall Colliery, which was on the same side (west)
