The OS benchmark is positioned into the south-west end of the footbridge that spans the A442 at Ketley Bank, Telford. It is on the north-west side of the footpath. The footbridge sits on the historic route of that taken by the miners, furnace workers and colliers protesting at wage cuts in 1821. The protest would result in the Cinderloo Riots.
