Rare rivet benchmark installed in a kerb stone in Second Avenue. Only 1404 of this type of benchmark were installed by OS out of over half a million total benchmarks. The pheon (broad arrow) shows it is government property and the rivet itself marks the exact coordinates and elevation. Many have been subsequently destroyed and this is the only confirmed rivet benchmark in a kerbstone in the wider Birmingham area. It is recorded as RV0240 in the OS Benchmark Database with reference information: RIVET: RIVET KERB S SIDE SECOND AVE 0.9M N PRODN S FACE NO52 (ODN 114.769m, AGL 0.0m).
