Scrapped :ohmy:
I would love it, but MrsPete might deny me the pleasure, sadly..
Surely someone will preserve it?
They're reducing the size of the footpaths on the hill. Behind & on the right is open ground. After the pub

This picture was taken by Jeff Teel from nearby Morton, Illinois, as he rode to the total eclipse area out west on his old Trek Belleville. Another amazing journey, seen here, but this marker itself was going to be the subject of a tour, maybe this year, until the whole amputation thing occurred.
Here's his CGOAB ride, he does one every year:

Then on to this one complete with some random advertising at Great Malvern Priory by the small side entrance.

Then it was time to head home , should think there are loads more in and around Worcester .

Isn't there something funny about the name on that random advertising?

Can chalk up another three BM's as gone. On the boundry wall of what was the Halifax Royal General Infirmary. Known locally as the Royal Infirmary. Sold for flats & housing.
The sole survivor, top of the Entrance(Main). All the other entrances have been removed.

Not the origional, but Elizabeth never got it replaced.

Outside a local pub, former coaching inn, in the town centre.

Only a few years ago you could read the second line.

A utility marker in Great Billing.

A fruitless search around Cogenhoe (pronounced Cookno)

apart from an old carved sundial(?) on a window surround on the old church. There's supposed to be a worn BM but I couldn't see it.

The Falcon pub, currently being restored, had a BM on the dark cornerstone.
