A couple of miles stroll around Devizes to spot a VR post box with a knitted cosy on the top.. Very pretty ☺

The church has a BM on it. Easy to find..

And in Market Square, another BM (conveniently close to the chippy, too!)

I take it this is the sort of thing covered by this thread. An old GPO marker post that's about 2' tall and that I've ridden past almost daily without noticing its existence until recently.

That is a jointing pillar . Probably now redundant not removed as it made of asbestos . The pillar cover is unbolted (the bolt is missing in your photo the square hole at the bottom )and you pull it off to reveal a junction of wires as you would see in the street green boxes. SCP stands for secondary cross connection point .

and the flush bracket for anyone into that kind of thing.

Devon County Council highway boundary marker at the east end of Victoria Road, Topsham. Not very exciting but it looked interesting against the brick garden wall.

At the other side of the car-park (behind me) is the River Ouse
'In season' (& Saturday was the last day, apparantly), you can take a 'River-Taxi' into the centre of York
I think it terminates at Kings Staithe, where the Kings Arms pub always floods; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4314459

We're heading down the A1, to Newark-on-Trent, this afternoon with the BWSOW
SWMBO for a break, and so I can go to; https://www.truckfest.co.uk/truckfest-original/, tomorrow


I hope to get chance to stop at the glorious (ex service station) on the A1, at Markham Moor, that's now a Starbucks

Not for the coffee, but the building itself!!

We're staying just off 'Smeatons Causeway', which is a glorious structure!!
