William Henry Fox Talbot, close-up, Greenways Business Park, Chippenham
The sculptor, Greta Berlin, has made Fox Talbot a rather dour-looking figure. Was he really so? I prefer the rather more attractive figures of a young girl and her dog who make up the other parts of the set-piece sculptures.

William Henry Fox Talbot and his subjects stand in a green area in this relatively small business park. I believe the development dates from the 1990s.

Chippenham, milestone
Ordnance Survey 1GL bolt benchmark on side of milestone (Chippenham 1) dating from 1856 when the survey line from Oxford to Bath was levelled. The mark is very unusual having its bolt inserted at the bottom of the LHS arrow cut, instead of at the level of the horizontal datum cut. For additional information on this and nearby benchmarks see the Bench Mark Database record http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm34234

Old milestone on Malmesbury Road
On the B4158 is an old milestone, looking a little neglected. It still just about says one mile to Chippenham. However, it is also the place to find an unusual benchmark (see Image] ) - unusual not only because it is a 1GL boltmark, but also because the bolt is not aligned with the datum line. Sadly, the milestone's neglect has seen it topple slightly off its original level, rendering accurate levelling difficult (see Image]).

No longer level
A curious 1GL boltmark in a milestone on the Malmesbury Road - now shifted from its original position. Perhaps that may have something to do with the bolt not being aligned with the datum cut? See Roger Templeman's pic Image] for greater clarity or Image] for a wider view.
