Macclesfield Fundamental Bench Mark
This Fundamental Bench Mark is located by the wall on the eastern side of the Bull Hill Lane and Buxton New Road junction, on the verge by the road. It was used in the Second geodetic levelling (1912-1921) and the Third geodetic levelling (1950-1968) of England and Wales. It was included in both the Macclesfield to Daresbury and the Matlock to Macclesfield levelling lines. Its exact height is 1017.8020 feet (310.2260 metres) above mean sea level at Newlyn. For a wider view see Image, for more information visit http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm1110 .
Fundamental Bench Marks are the most important type of mark. Above ground is a small pillar with a brass ‘dome’ on the top, below ground level is a bolt that is set into the bedrock which means there is less chance of it altering. The bolt is an exact height above mean sea level at Newlyn and it is from these Fundamental Bench Marks that all others are measured. Their importance is such that the Ordnance Survey still maintain them.
