The top of the Sharpness Fundamental
Rare to find, a Fundamental Benchmark remains as a physical tool in the ever-increasingly digital surveying world. This one has kept its height tag, recording the monument at 113.90ft (34.716m).

Sharpness Fundamental
One of just over 200 such Fundamental Benchmarks, this O. S. monument occupies a pen near Luggs Farm. Unusually, this one has its height tag still evident, although with railings around it the overgrowth tends to take over. See https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm1146 for the entry in the Benchmark Database.

Luggs Farm
Would have been quite isolated before the developing of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and the coming of the railways and docks development.

Little used on Oldminster Road
At the end of Sharpness village is a road junction that overlooks the docks. It seems this view is not one that is terribly popular.

Junction at Oldminster Road
To the north of Newtown the main road fizzles out, but the junction carries on towards Brookend by turning at this junction. It is a completely average place but it holds a small feature - a Berntsen surveying point. See Image] for a closer look at the bins on the far side.

A bucket, a bag and a Berntsen
Hidden among the roadside materials is a Berntsen. This unassuming circular cover protects an important surveying point. Close by is a Fundamental Benchmark, one of the few physical Ordnance Survey sites still in use, and this Berntsen is an auxiliary station to it.

Sharpness Docks - gate No. 3
One of the entrances from the public road that passes the docks. The old warehouse in the background is a survivor from the docks' opening in the 1870s. A quiet Sunday afternoon in January was an ideal time for a walk around the publicly accessible parts of the docks.
