Bench Mark, Preston 5
Pivot mark on the top of milestone Image and Image and http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm33869
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.
Thanks goes to fellow Geograph member Roger Templeman with whose help I am beginning to learn the finer points of Ordnance Survey bench marks.

Milestone, Newsham
The milestone erected by the Preston and Garstang Turnpike Trust which was established in 1751.
Turnpikes were administered by turnpike trusts, which were authorised by private act of parliament. The trusts laid down a network of soundly constructed roads throughout the country, replacing parochial maintenance system on many highways and substantially improving communications. The first English turnpike roads were authorised by an act of 1663. By the 1880s there were about 8000 tollgates and 22,000 miles of highway. The trusts engineers, notably John Macadam, constructed many new roads, which by the 1800s were being utilized by an efficient stagecoach system. However, railway expansion after 1830 led to the rapid decline of stagecoaches and turnpike revenue.
For a wider view of the milestone see Image The milestone has a bench mark on its top.
