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

[Deleted member 26715]

Once again thanks, I've done a search & there are 151 within 10K with some of them showing as Unknown condition, so maybe start with those along with a few goods so I know where to look. Don't use Windows so not sure what the edge app is, but I'm sure I can get a latitude/longitude app for the Android.

Its just the Edge browser app for the phone..
I use Chrome for my general phone browsing..
Keeping it seperate means the map comes up..
Your phone GPS should kick in when the page asks for permission to access your location?
Sorry if I'm reading this wrongly..

You'll find that quite a lot have 'disappeared' over time...
older parts of town/villages are happy hunting grounds..

The gnomon is the stick in the center of such a sundial, but what you have there seems to be missing it. Since it appears to be in shade, I think it may have been moved, but I could be quite wrong. Some sundials were made to tell the seasons as well.

I always thought they were stonemasons marks i doubt the Whiston one has been moved

From the top end of Darley Street, Bradford. Got a parking enforcement officer curious as to what I was doing.

He should be curious about the great big post-box. Seems pretty impressive.

He was trying to get his head round why I wanted a picture of it in the first place. There's another, George VII, about 300 yards away. Same four slot design.

He'd never noticed it before.
