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

[Bobby Mhor]

Nah, I'd describe myself as a Trollop...

Four today,
here's a couple.
I love these ones..Greenock, Union St.

The last one I found has evaded me in the past, new prescription sunglasses worked. l just caught the levelling mark and after a good look I could faintly make out the angle marks.
Inverkip, Sheilhill Farm

Passed this and another 4 foot away.

That last one is great

 

[Drago]

Some of these old utilities markers are wonderful. An amazing glimpse of technical history right under our noses, and most people are oblivious to it.

Two that can now be crossed of the list, along with the chapel and church outside. Removed during "restoration work".

That last one is great

I saw it when I bagged the pivot on the bridge across the road from it a few weeks ago.
I cycled through the older posher part of Greenock today and I never saw any markers at all except modern ones.
They tend to be scarce up here.

This morning's finds

Weekly church

A previously missed faceplate in Weston Underwood

Benchmark on Cranford at Andrew church .

A pr of utility markers and a mile board in Sudborough .

No finds on Sudborough and Lowick and Islip church but this benchmark on the railway bridge by Laurence Leyland Ind estate in Wellingborough.

Had a nice walk around Finedon pocket park and spotted the benchmark on the old railway bridge by the entrance.

And this old brick .

I hunted for this last week as I remembered one was at the location..Today, I scraped the moss off (after I checked the database as to location on bridge)

Bridge of Weir, Lawmarnock Rd

You may camouflage but you can't hide from Bob

And this old brick .

Looks like a repair on the brick, cuts don't quite match & the line looks newer.

Several hits today..

First spotted was a utility plaque in Brixworth, near the crossroad. The building is now a children's nursery, I think.

Next, still in Brixworth, on the walls of the Coach and Horses, was a well weathered BM

Onwards to Spratton, this one caught my eye near the village green.

A useful penny farthing mounting point () near Little Houghton church needed to be photographed..

Riding through Denton, getting nearer to @biggs682 bagging territory, I saw this BM on Summer Cottage on the Whiston Road out of the village.

The final find of the day, amongst the rubbish on the side of a semi-derelict barn, was a lucky one as I slowed down to save a bit of energy for the climb back into Cogenhoe.

 

[biggs682]

@PeteXXX the one on the cogenhoe barn jumped out at me the other week when i rode past , must admit got no idea how i saw it at all as i hadnt even slowed down !

Good spot on the one in Denton , i hadnt noticed that one , theres meant to be one on the little house at the end of Whiston road but i keep forgetting to look when i go past

Sounds like Biggs is developing The Power.

@Drago its strange you can be riding along and looking left & right as you do and then out of nowhere this huge bench mark or face plate smacks you in the eyes , the faceplate i got yesterday in Weston Underwood i had ridden past a couple of times in the last few weeks without seeing it and yesterday it jumped out at me ........... honest its weird

 

[PeteXXX]

There must be more to find in Denton, I reckon.
