Detail of the Ordnance Survey cut benchmark on a stone wall adjacent to the postbox in Whale. The benchmark marks a height of 191.006m above mean sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) last verified in 1954 (location photograph Image). A period of dry weather has caused the dandelion growing in the crack in the wall to die.
