The Spain, Petersfield
The origin of this unusual street name is uncertain. It may relate to Spanish merchants who traded here at the time when Petersfield was an important wool town, or it could be a corruption of 'spayne' meaning tile suggesting that the buildings here had roof tiles rather than thatch.

Bench Mark, The Spain, Petersfield
The bench mark is to be found on the wall of the building, for a wider view http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2048696 and for further information on the cut mark http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm35389
A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude.
With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
