Antrim Road, BALLYCLARE, BT39 0AJ

Cut bench mark located on a railway bridge on the outskirts of Templepatrick Image This mark was created in the mid 1970's when it was discovered that a flush bracket on the bridge had been removed - see Image The mark has been levelled to 59.51 metres above MSL. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=11037856 for many other examples I have found.

This bridge carries the Belfast-Londonderry railway across the Belfast – Templepatrick/Antrim road (known as “the Antrim line”). It allows ample clearance for double-deck buses (which have recently been re-introduced to the route) to pass under. The view is towards Templepatrick.

The bridge, from the Belfast/Glengormley side, looking towards Templepatrick. The stonework is original. The rest is a result of rebuilding.

The surviving height-restriction sign (UTA era, I think) on the Belfast/Glengormley side.

Railway bridge over the A6 Antrim road on the outskirts of Templepatrick. The bridge carries the line between Belfast and L'Derry over the road.

The site of a flush bracket bench mark which used to be sited at a railway bridge on the outskirts of Templepatrick Image The bracket was removed sometime in the early 1970s. A cut mark was subsequently added to the bridge when it was discovered that the bracket had gone Image Should you have the bracket, maybe you could drop me a line? Perhaps it lies dusty and forgotten in your garden shed or have you given it pride of place on your mantlepiece? When it was here, the bracket was numbered OSBM 3266. The mark was levelled to 59.01 metres above MSL. A flush bracket is a type of bench mark set onto the face of a building.
