This Ordnance Survey bench mark is on the south-east corner of Image in Newcastle Under Lyme. For more information on this and other marks in the area visit http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm20388 . Prior to the advent of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) bench marks were used to accurately measure the height above sea level at a given location, for England, Wales and Scotland these measurements were surveyed from the Mean Sea Level at Newlyn in Cornwall. If the height of one bench mark was known then the height of the next one could be determined by the use of surveyor’s rods and spirit levels. By the late 20th century there were thousands of bench marks located across the UK. They are commonly found on older buildings such as churches, town halls and public houses or other semi-permanent features such as stone bridges and walls.
