Detail of a benchmark type symbol on a house wall at the corner of Westgate and Main Street. The Ordnance Survey database indicates a cut benchmark at this location, marking a height of 88.459m above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) last verified in 1954. This mark does not appear to be the original benchmark but may indicate the approximate position of the original under the cement harling (location photograph Image).
