OS benchmark - Ribbleton 164 Ribbleton Avenue
A very weathered OS cutmark on the wall of an outbuilding on Ribbleton Avenue. It's not entirely clear if this is the one marked on maps around 1910 at 176.4 feet above Liverpool datum, or whether it's a more recent replacement levelled in 1961 at 52.429m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. Personally I suspect it's the former, based on the type of bricks, and the amount of weathering as much as anything else.

Cromwell Road crosses the former railway
Beneath here, and long disused, ran the Preston and Longridge Railway, which opened in 1840. It was originally envisaged as a route to carry stone from quarries at Longridge into the city for building, but developed passenger services quite early; steam locos were introduced in 1848. There were plans drawn up (more than once) to extend the line way out into North Yorkshire, and westwards to the coast at Fleetwood, but these never really came to fruition, and the line eventually closed to passengers in the early 1930s and to freight in the late 1960s.
