This benchmark is cut into the blue bricks at the base of the pillar at the east end of the Creation Climbing Centre. It was verified by the Ordnance Survey in 1965 at 132.5667 metres above sea level. The Creation centre is a fantastic venue offering excellent indoor facilities for rock climbing and other activities like scooting and indoor caving. The building it occupies is shabby but in my opinion of great architectural merit and historic interest, having been built as a tram depot.
