Partial OS benchmark - Coley Cottage
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 21 Jun 2014
The remains of an OS benchmark on the north-facing wall of the roadside cottage at Coley Mill. It's on the wall behind a large conifer tree, and not accessible without asking the owners nicely. The existence of the datum cut without the conventional three-line arrow below it rather suggests that this is a re-positioned brick, a theory which is supported by the new mortar & pointing around these half-dozen bricks, so it may not be in its original position of 70.058m above Ordnance Datum newlyn.
