This bench mark appears on the 1881 town plans with a height of 254.9ft above sea level (Liverpool datum). It was relevelled by the Ordnance Survey in 1969 with a height of 77.5509m above sea level (Newlyn datum). This former coaching inn originally stood at the junction of the Manchester and Chester roads, but the main road junction has since been moved to the NNW, and the pub is now at the junction of Greyfriars and Stone Walk.
