OS benchmark - Wellington, boundary stone on Whitchurch Road
An OS cutmark on the remains of a milestone
Image set into the roadside wall, just north of Wellington. Note the bolt holes that would have originally held the iron (?) plate, which has presumably been liberated by some enterprising rapscalion with an eye for scrap metal prices; very helpful, well done. The benchmark was originally levelled in 1958 at 103.631m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.

The Wellington Arms, Wellington
What a fine pair of lions flank the entrance. They are 'handed'; there's a left lion and a right lion.
