An OS cutmark on a wall on the NW side of the road at the junction with Oakley Street, which was last levelled by the OS in 1967 at 66.154m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. However, from its style and the fact that it appears on the 1902 map (at a height of 217.2 ft above Liverpool datum) it's fair to assume it was cut as part of the First Primary Levelling survey of the country, which took place between 1840 & 1860.
