If it wasn't so far, I'd send Maximilian over to test it out.

Beith, Old Church

Beith, Parish Church..
(I'm unconvinced about this, yet a mark is on site)

I'll go back for a looksee next time, I'm over in the area...

What's the mark above, on the second one.


Mill Lane, Upper Lower.

Mill Lane lower and middle missing.

Any ideas on the "K" which appears to have been cut into.

Dean Clough, old Main Entrance

Looks like one of your cloak wearing cousins
I'll have to pedal back over there as the OS database has a mark at the church but doesn't tie up with the mark I saw,
it was a random visit and I cycled between four spires
then found out they aren't civilised and have a Greggs

Has tha been yet?

You boys are getting good at this.

I know where a few should be, but the stones they should be on are gone, or at best covered over. Newer buildings in some cases, in others "tiles" to hide the stonework(giving a modern look to the buildings).

One I have been looking for a bit , I actually managed to find this morning !

It was just inside a shared access gateway just off the main road . It's at no 1 Potato Hall

I love those flush brackets. It would be nice to see the occasional one clean and neatly painted black for a change.

 

[PeteXXX]

Maybe we could take a brush and a can of spray enamel with us and perform a public service

 

[Drago]

Some trig pillars are adopted and get periodically cleaned and painted.

i think some are low enough to get a wee wash from any dogs that walk past

It'll be the next time I'm over that way

I've been to more than a few where the building has been roughcast or some other covering put on...
where I stay, there has been massive redevelopment so I can cross off the bulk in this area.

How about this for quick service..

not that neat, though..

 

[PeteXXX]

Maybe I should make a little template so I can spray them black without going over the edges.
Mind you, cycling along with 5 litres of Snowcem to paint the whole Trig might look a bit dodgy

Just put a small sign on the bike about British Trig Point Preservation Society, people won't give it a second glance.
