Flush Bracket, Holywood
Flush bracket located on the railway bridge on Farmhill Road, Holywood Image Somewhat inexplicably, the bracket is on the north-eastern side of the eastern wall of the bridge - i.e. on the far side of the road directly overhanging the railway. To access the bracket it would have been necessary to plant a long ladder on the railway below or precariously hang over the edge - which is what I had to do to get the photograph.
The number on the bracket is OSBM 3450.
The mark is 30.65 metres above MSL.
A flush bracket is a type of bench mark set onto the face of a building. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=11037856 for many other examples I have found.
