An OS cutmark at the corner of Station Road where it joins Sheinton Street; it lies on the stonework associated with the former overbridge of the railway line (just offshot to the left of the litter bin seen in Image), and was most recently levelled in 1966 at 153.930m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. It appears on the 1901 map at 505ft 6in, so was presumably originally part of the 1st Geodetic Levelling survey, and relates in that case to Liverpool Datum.
