Bournemouth: benchmark on a Braidley Road wall

This benchmark is set into the wall of Image and has become completely overgrown with ivy overhanging from the other side of the wall, as is evident in the linked picture at the start of this paragraph. I wonder how long it is since the benchmark saw daylight, until I uncovered it today! The angle of the mark gives an indication of the gradient of the wall, whose bricks follow the same gradient rather than being laid to the horizontal.
