Who said that?
I've passed the previous two days marks many a time..
See the link on the top quote..
I have been trying this out..
as I said on previous post..
3 from 15 checks
but that's another two nearby town/village completely checked...
so I can keep my eyes on the road although there are many not on the database.....

That benchmark took me ages to find as it's on a gate post in the middle of nowhere and i dismissed the gatepost 2 or 3 times
That's on my commute...

As I said, eyes like a s**thouse rat!
I just stopped in the immediate area,
got the phone out, opened Chrome and this page HERE
clicked on the GPS symbol and voila!
Luckily, this one originally was .4 metre above ground level but its been built up since they measured it.
They ain't always there...
I looked for another three in the area which weren't there anymore...

I've counted close on 500 Bench Marks within a mile of the town centre that have disappeared. Either lost to development or simply covered over. The latter may reappear one day.

Have a gander in your local area. See if you can work out where the should be.As I said, eyes like a s**thouse rat!

The symbol now used for Trig Point was in olden maps, a mark for a high spot....
Black is a present day trig point...

Using the picture in the post, and the link, head North on the lower road and you'll see the bench marks displayed. Head South on the top road , less than 50 years old, and you'll get the church.
Whole post quoted because I was being lazy. From there he can explore his local area using the link.

Been busy again...
going over old scanned ground.
Langbank (on a church which has a FB hidden by a new ramp)
Bishopton
I love rivets, esp with cut marks..
Finally as my phone battery flashed up Low Power Mode..
A couple or three more to look for in the immediate area, once a village along a main road, now a busy commuter town still spreading on the site of an old armaments factory.
