Missing (in action?) and now relocated
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 28 Jan 2012
The 'legendary' missing trig of Overley Hill, which originally stood on a small hill just north of The Wrekin in Image, but fell victim in 1990 to the construction of the new A5 dual carriageway. It was rescued at the time http://trigpointinguk-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/089/P89058.jpg by a local firm of surveyors, the Severn Partnership Ltd, and now stands proudly outside their offices in Bayston Hill, about 8 miles from its original location. http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=5259 Update early 2019... The wandering trig of east Shropshire's gone walkabout again. The Severn Partnership business referred to above have relocated to a modern business park on the north side of Telford, not far from Image, and have apparently taken the trig with them, where it now effectively acts as their 'Gate Guardian' emblem. It's now roughly 4 miles from its original location on Overley Hill, rather than about 8 miles away and this is what it looked like in 2020 Image
