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

[classic33]

Found in search for a FBM

on TP10400

Trig Point showing as tower, flagstaff/centre.
Mile Stone, with nameplates gone

With an un-registered one on the other side

Recorded as an FBM, visited, but no marks.

Mile Stone/Boundry Stone. Onwards into what was once Lancashire.

A lonely stone, on't bog.

Norland Moor, TP5142

On a nearby seat

the view, from the same seat.

And in the middle of no-where,

I came across this,

over half a mile, as the crow flies, from the Trig Point.

Geo Cache in the base of the Trig Point, Western Side.

All three on the same road.

Now private, but they built the wall around it.

First one:
"Bolt" going through the wall as a means of remedial work, wall found to be insufficent to stand on it's own.

Quite common round here on some of the older buildings. The more ornate ones facing the public.

And they should be tightened by a quarter turn every year as the rod stretches.. I wonder how many actually are?!

And a milestone with a weathered cut mark in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Now a Milestone showing distance to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgoger drobwllllantysiliogogogoch would be worth seeing.

I'd say the rod doesn't stretch. 20mm stainless rod has a 0.2% yield of 170kN. That's 17 tonnes give or take.

Did they do Stainless rods in 1650? Lol

Weren't they cast iron?

 

[classic33]

Weren't they cast iron?

Cast stands a good chance of breaking. Locally they were wrought iron or steel, sometimes going from one side of the building to the other in a single piece. 100 foot not uncommon in the mills.

 

[Gravity Aided]

I've seen some pretty good sized buildings in the day with some nice wrought iron rods, finished with a star on the outside. I should go down by Lincoln's old law office or something when I get out, and take a few pictures. I may find some there. Another dimension for this thread!

 

[PeteXXX]

Any persons found undoing them, or even carrying a big spanner might find themselves banned from this thread!!

In other news, I noticed my Dad has added the level (in both feet and metres) to the benchmark on the side of his house. I'm off to the OS database to make sure he's got it right.

Bench Mark cut if correct?

Last of my Welsh finds now I'm back home..

Conway Guildhall, with this, and

this, on the right side of the same door.

On St. Mair a'r Holl Saint church, a BM with bolt, in the town centre just about to be ivy bound!

Saved, before it vanishes into the foliage and gets mullahed by the tendrils!
