There used to be a bridge at this location, over a small stream from the common, opposite. The drainage of the area was probably re-organised when the common was converted from allotments to King George’s Field c.1920. The bridge bore an Ordnance Survey benchmark: The mark was used on the Warrington to Pembroke Docks line of the First Primary Levelling of England & Wales in 1851-1852. It was levelled with a height of 75.663' above OD (Liverpool). Description: 745. Mark on East battlement of small bridge ; 1.72 ft. below top of battlement. Page 536 of the abstract: https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/abstract/ew1gl/1GLA_536.png A mark at this location was used on the Aberaeron to Carmarthen secondary line of the Second Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales in 1927-1928. Its height of 77.50' above OD (Newlyn) suggests the original mark was replaced by a pivot on top of the parapet.
