Lots of interesting things to look for there and I don't think any of them were on my list of potentials for my turn next month (possibly one but I have temporarily mislaid the notebook so I can't be sure!!) I am not aware of any bench marks locally but that website gives an indication of some that I can go and look for. |

I never knew about those OS benchmarks, although I had seen some of them without knowing. This one is on the corner of an old pub, now a house, on the way to the paper shop. Flush Bracket OSBM S9674: Whiteparish, White Hart PH Full details, and other very similar pics at bench-marks.org.uk Only 9 to go now ! |

I've just been looking at that website and was pleased to see that there are several in my village - however on clicking further into the details of each of them a number no longer exist but I've managed to find a few photos on that site of some that are likely to still be there so I will be off out to look for them later!

I think I'm going to have to start looking out for benchmarks too. I've seen them in the past and wondered if they were some sort of measurement thing. Now I know. I've just checked for a few local ones on my estate, but they've all gone due to home improvements or were on walls that've been removed to make way for driveways. |

SS for clarification re bench-marks, as trig points have bench marks on them, they count too, don't they? (She says hopefully )

I reckon so LazyDaisy. Browsing that website I've just discovered there's one on a sort of trig-shaped stone by a cycle track I must use three or four times a week!

I'm not entirely sure I understand the bench mark thing but there probably aren't any in Spain anyway

I'm not sure if this is the same as the link posted a couple of pages back but it is a really interesting blog about them www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/2018/05/25-years-since-last-benchmark/
