A very weathered OS cutmark on the wall of an outbuilding on Ribbleton Avenue. It's not entirely clear if this is the one marked on maps around 1910 at 176.4 feet above Liverpool datum, or whether it's a more recent replacement levelled in 1961 at 52.429m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. Personally I suspect it's the former, based on the type of bricks, and the amount of weathering as much as anything else.
