not all are in place
Goodness @Bobby Mhor and @biggs682 you've both got very good eyesight! Those would be easily missed.
Who said that?
I've passed the previous two days marks many a time..
See the link on the top quote..
I have been trying this out..
as I said on previous post..
3 from 15 checks:ohmy:
but that's another two nearby town/village completely checked...
so I can keep my eyes on the road although there are many not on the database.....

I just stopped in the immediate area,
got the phone out, opened Chrome and this page HERE
clicked on the GPS symbol and voila!
Luckily, this one originally was .4 metre above ground level but its been built up since they measured it.
They ain't always there...
I looked for another three in the area which weren't there anymore...

I've counted close on 500 Bench Marks within a mile of the town centre that have disappeared. Either lost to development or simply covered over. The latter may reappear one day.

Have a gander in your local area. See if you can work out where the should be.

Everyone seems to be using the the point where the three paths meet and the current road junction for Edge End. The Trig Point is further North and on the Eastern side of where the wall was. The Traversing Point/Bench Mark/Boundary Post is on the Western side of the wall, slightly further South.

@Richard A Thackeray, you've got me overthinking this again with that link!

The symbol now used for Trig Point was in olden maps, a mark for a high spot....

Black is a present day trig point...
Using the picture in the post, and the link, head North on the lower road and you'll see the bench marks displayed. Head South on the top road , less than 50 years old, and you'll get the church.

Whole post quoted because I was being lazy. From there he can explore his local area using the link.

I love rivets, esp with cut marks..

Finally as my phone battery flashed up Low Power Mode..
NS 4381 7084 Bishopton, Greenock Rd, Building.jpg

A couple or three more to look for in the immediate area, once a village along a main road, now a busy commuter town still spreading on the site of an old armaments factory.
