An unusual occurrence: a pair of cut benchmarks in close proximity. The OS database only records the one mark, although it may be that one was considered unreliable for some reason. Interestingly, old maps show the mark over many years but with a slightly different height given between 1886 and 1904 - more so than other marks nearby. Perhaps this indicates the appearance of the second mark? See https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm104077 for the entry in the Benchmark Database, and Image] for a wider view of the old building.
