A few from around what has been the local airfield(100 years ago), infectious disease hospital, local zoo, race course, WWII auxillary airfield, and now mainly used by a golf course/club.
Note the holes.
East Wall
HCWW marker, cast iron so seldom just thrown away.
Mile Stone at a junction. Caused a slight hold up. One driver was so engrossed watching me, that he missed a change of lights.

Without knowing it's location it's most likely a pylon for an aerial ropeway serving the mining/quarrying industry of old

Cheers for that. I wasn't even close
It's an 'observatory' (also referred to as a pillar) for the Grassholme Tunnel - an aqueduct which links Grassholme Reservoir to Hury Reservoir, built by the Tees Valley Water board between 1901 and 1914.
All the above derived from beautiful old maps , and the power of the internet

Happy exploring

I use that site most days at work and it's superb - especially the 25" to the mile sheets. the downside is that it only covers one epoch
https://www.old-maps.co.uk covers many epochs, but the available scales and coverage are sometimes limited.
Between the two and the web I can I can get answers whilst getting paid

One from the Copper Kettle
Any ideas on these two?
Numbers are regular on these, placement isn't. No railway or canal nearby.
Unable to get in for this one
Whereas this has two uses. BM bottom right.
Has the end been reached?
Saint John's Church, Warley.
Bench mark has been covered.
Marked as a trig point as well
Just up the(Burnley) road.
Mark partially hidden
