Originally located on Overley Hill just north of The Wrekin in Image, it was removed from there when the M54 was extended westwards to form what is now the dual-carriageway road to Shrewsbury from Telford in 1990. For some while it stood outside the offices of a firm of surveyors in Bayston Hill Image; they have moved to this new business park in Hadley, and brought their trig with them. Nice work.
