Mystery "Bench Mark"
Image: © Phil Johnstone Taken: 31 Aug 2021
What looks like an OS cut bench mark, but rotated 90 degrees, on one of the old buildings of the former Bowerham Barracks (now University of Cumbria). No bench mark appears on OS maps at this location. It is possible the stone has been moved and re-used, but there is no evidence of this. A mystery.
