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

[Drago]

Good find, that's beautifully preserved.

Belongs over the road, where the wooden post is now.

Lister Lane, lower.

^ Trig Point \/ @Cubist should know

Bath Street, School Building

Trig Point is in the belfry.

Typical council renovated clock, four faces and each saying something different.

Set out this morning not intending to look for any marks then this !!

Just after leaving Overstone and get near to the gate house. Is it one ?

Then Moulton Church

Then another GPO post in Boughton

Then Chapel or Church Brampton

Then Pitsford Village Hall

Then Walgrave Church .

And this little blighter on the way out of Orlingbury different markings and poor picture.

 

[Drago]

Martin, that top one is one of those old utilities markers I mentioned. That style seemed to be in use locally until the nearly sixties. That slash marks indicate its owned by the government.

Very interesting in their own right. Good spot.

Nice haul, Sir

AS for the GPO ones @Drago mentioned them earlier in the thread and I wrote, yer man appeared to explain

 

[Drago]

I think the old utilities markers are wonderful. Its a shame to see them crumbling. Wouldn't mind one for the garden, but I think only about 1/4 is visible and the underground section is fan shaped to stop collectors pulling them out then ground.

I've found that the churches I think, yeah, gotta be one there and make my way to them and nothing.

Quite a few of the house and farmhouse ones I've looked for have been recoated or rendered.
I have a quick look then on wandering.
It adds a bit of interest to your 'out'
I've exhausted most of the villages just to the east, a low success rate on one which hasn't changed much since I assume the beginning of the 20th century, I think 4 out of maybe 40 in the area.

I was at a church across the river and due to pots, planters etc outside the church door, I had moved one and was taking a pic on my knees, I heard a 'cough' and stood up and got politely asked what I was doing, I moved the pot back then explained, showing the photo and the rest of my haul that day. An MAMIL on his knees outside a church door, suspicious or what? Explaining, I just referred them to the benchmark website as I have to a few others. A lesson, don't delete any photos in case. Oh, and forgot the printout of what and where I was looking.

Is the one I should know somewhere like Blackwall or Harrison Road?

If I went higher on the wall, it'd be too easy.

The other is on a graveyard.

Just driving around Wellingborough today I have spotted 4 more of these

 

[biggs682]

A few more local utility markers all within 100 metres on Doddington rd

The last couple do not have a cut in them , but still interesting.

And then this mark in Earls Barton right on the cross roads in the centre.

 

[Drago]

Beautifully preserved utilities markers. That's the first sighting of the EMEB ones for me. Good skills Martin.

 

[PeteXXX]

On Boughton church, right on the corner facing the lane through the village.
@biggs682 has already bagged this one, but I couldn't resist the photo opportunity
