What database do you use ?

 

[Drago]

I use http://www.bench-marks.org.uk

Quite early on I found one in Roade that wasn't on there. Pure fluke - I was sitting in the car while Mrs D was in the post office. Gazing uninterestedly at a wall and suddenly there it was.

I use http://www.bench-marks.org.uk

will have to have a look at that site

What database do you use ?

There's the OS complete job HERE
12mb file...
I've started isolating local towns, villages.
If you do find one not on Bench Mark website, it'll be on there I assume.
If you've a smartphone,
I use OS Locate app which gives you the OS locator, I just email it to myself or use a GPS to waypoint my find..

This method is hit and miss, most of the ones I try search down are well gone but any others can be added to the Bench Mark database.

Borough Market

How'd you get a Trigametrical Point, located in the centre of the street, onto here?

Cycling in Paisley this lunchtime,
saw a church from the NCN track and let's go nosey,
voila!
BM 4845, Paisley, Laigh Kirk.

On the Bench Mark site..
A bit of an identity thing as the OS CBM database has it as St. Andrews, the church is now called 'Stow Brae Kirk'.. BM has it as Laigh Kirk...

I plodded here and there on spec, bridges, old walls, other church but nothing else except some old wifie giving me verbal for being in her way, she was hissed.

Today's Trig Point was TP0260, near Mawsley, Northants, though it's named as being near Faxton.

Quite easy to find, over a wooden bridge on a bridleway on the main road past Mawsley village.

 

[Drago]

Good finds chaps. Both are in excellent condition.

I also wandered around a couple of churches as well, but found no benchmarks. They were 'Trig Points', but every old church is, innit!

 

[biggs682]

Found this one on the front of the old Parson's building in Wollaston tonight on the way to mum and dad .

 

[biggs682]

Got a few bench mark's this morning and my first trig post .

First was Isham church

Then Barton Seagrave
