Took photo of tower, puzzled that it had a different name. Then realised that it was the wrong tower, so walked round to the other side of the supermarket to the correct one. Would think theres a good view across the city from the roof but doubt the aerials are the ones used by the OS.

No sign of any structure or block, apart from a discarded brick in the hedge. SE38/T102, National Archive document reference number OS 69/8681 dated 30-9-86 describes the mark as a Brass rivet on "concrete base of old building - now cracked" with 4 witness marks all within 1.5 metres. This would appear to have been a replacement for an asphalt disc on the building roof, placed in 1954. A sketch shows that the building was located on the W side of the hedge. The document also gives the bearings to other local marks: Nidd Moor, Bilton Ch Twr, Coporation Farm, Queen Ethelburgh's Sch Twr, Mount Pleasant and Killinghall Chapel Vane.

Building visible across carpark from the main entrance. Didn't attempt closer access. The brass mark has a computation date of 1987 but the present building seemed that it might have been constructed more recently than that. So I emailed the British Library and they kindly replied to say that the building was completed in 1961. Possibly its been reclad since then.

St James parish church. Flagstaff with flag on a cold and windy morning. The OS trig marks database lists the flagstaff as (440378.094,448377.375) and the Brass Centre Mark as (440381.406,448378.406) which puts the centre mark at 3.3m E and 1m N from the flagstaff. But the latter is within 1m of the NE corner of the tower. So either the brass mark is not on the tower but further to NE on a sloping roof or else maybe the flagstaff has been repositioned from the W side of the tower (or else my sums are wrong). Width of tower 1m from ground measured as approx 4.7m.

2nd order rivet in a secure reservoir compound at W end of the village. I think this one might be missing. Reasoning as follows: The OS trig marks database records the position as (432066.781,463788.656) with a height of 328.700 ft. The position is towards the E corner of the compound, well away from the raised area which occupies the W half. The ground level for the location is not much different from the road. The OS map, displayed via Geograph, shows a spot height of 96m at the high point of the road, just NW of the reservoir and also a 95m contour through the compound itself. The latter corresponds to 311.7 ft; i.e 17 ft lower that the height of the mark. So unless there is an error in the OS trig marks database (unlikely) the mark was well above ground level on a structure that no longer exists.

Reservoir surrounded by the usual 6ft high pointy steel fence. A footpath goes around three sides allowing good views of the interior. Satellite photo indicates that the bolt location corresponds to the N edge of the roof of a building on the top of the reservoir towards the E side of the compound. To the N of the building is sloping ground so a roof location rather than at ground level seems likely. Plaque dates building as 1937; roof likely to be the original. Its anybody's guess as to whether the bolt is still there.

The OS trig marks database records a height of 51.099 metres for the bolt as compared to 48.213 for the nearby trig pillar. No sight line between the two but unlikely to be nearly 3 metres height difference; i.e. the reservoir was above ground and should have been obvious.

Reservoir facing a busy road with traffic and dog-walkers passing by. Compound defended by steel pallisade fencing with spiky tops but a tour of the perimeter identified discreet and straightforward access. Satellite image suggested the roof of a brick-built access point, about 8ft high, on the N edge of the reservoir. Difficult to check roof but theres a central mound with what might be a bolt in the middle. But the OS trig marks database records a rivet so not sure if this is it. Checked the surrounding concrete steps and kerb stones but nothing else found. The concentric rings painted on the roof were unusual - no obvious waterworks purpose but visible in satellite image. So possibly an aid to aerial surveying?

The bolt is described in the OS trig marks database as 'bolt in rock; mark buried' with the coordinates placing it about 2 metres from the original cairn. The database records both cairn and bolt as computed in 1955; i.e the bolt did not replace the cairn. No rock outcrops at the summit but using a long-bladed screwdriver as a probe, there seems to be a solid platform a few inches below the surface - maybe the foundations of the cairn. Trial digs with a trowel on the Addlebrough side found nothing but a spade would be needed to do a thorough search; perhaps a metal detector as well. So possibly 'possibly missing' - not really sure.

An interesting monument in a quiet corner of Sheffield just a few minutes walk from the railway station; most recently visited at the end of 2011. Significant from a trig point of view for two reasons. Firstly, it is still marked on recent OS maps with a triangulation symbol. Secondly the OS trig marks database flags this as destroyed with the remark 'Destroyed 09/91'. But Wikipedia says "The monument was struck by lightning in 1990 and the top removed for safety, rebuilding began in 2005 thanks to a grant and was completed in 2006"

The grid ref corresponded to a point along a grassy path, just S of a slightly flattened minor hilltop containing a wooden sculpture and picnic table. Unclear if Waleswood colliery workings used to extend this far but the top seemed artificial. Good views W across the Rother valley and S into Derbyshire. Unlike the other Yorkshire fenomarks, this location didn't have an obvious motorway-related purpose although the M1 was just visible to the SE. Did a grid search probing for the block; nothing found but a few stones. Quiet country park on the edge of Sheffield. Good example of an EABM survey mark by the bridge to the visitor centre.

At the NE end of a group of 3 Fenomarks, this one is to the N of the M62. GPS pointed toward W edge of former quarry track on N side of lane but again within tarmac area. No sign of Fenomark. In the OS trig marks database the original mark is flagged as 'destroyed' (and with an order of 13 which might be a typo). Replacement rivet in database recorded with identical coordinates - would have expected the coords to change a little if it was a new mark. Found an OS-like rivet in a kerb stone, slightly further north. Perhaps this is the mark in question but the position doesn't match. A somewhat flat hill.

There are three Fenomarks recorded in the OS trig marks database for this area, all in Secondary block SE44 with Station numbers T191, T192 and T193. The marks are approximately in a line and equally spaced. The computation and levelling years for the original marks are also identical (1987). So a common purpose, presumably motorway-related, is implied. Spitalgap Lane is at the SW end of the group. There are two entries in the trig marks database with near-identical coordinates; the earlier one is flagged as 'destroyed'. The W end of the lane is blocked to traffic but the area is popular with dog-walkers who were probably bemused by my investigations. Was expecting fly-tipping but the area is reasonably clear. However, vegetation has encroached onto the tarmac. GPS pointed to the centre of the road which seems unlikely; nothing found in the tarmac. Checked both verges but nothing found. The location seemed slighly arbitrary - not particularly near junctions of field boundaries and no obvious alignments with the many pylons, power station chimneys and cooling towers. Flat landscape; cold wind.

Station T190 in Secondary Block SE44. Overlooking a motorway as seems to be the pattern for most of the Fenomarks in Yorkshire. The grid reference for this one corresponds to the E side of a hedge, at a minor summit near the NW corner of a field, giving open views W as well as to the old/new A1M. Kirk Deighton Church spire is also prominent (also in the trig marks database as an intersected point, SE44/INT016). Straightforward access from E via the cycle track along the old A1 then up field edge. Soft ground alongside the hedge with concrete and stone rubble. Spent 15 mins probing and concluded that theres probably nothing on the surface. Suspect that the Fenomark has gone though it could be buried somewhere. The farmer came up to see what I was doing - I apologised for the trespass and explained why I was there; he didn't seem too concerned. He could recall surveyors working at this general location but couldn't remember exactly where or when.

Station T249 in Secondary block SK39. Not far from the M1 but installed long after the motorway was constructed. Situated at the junction of a minor road with lane leading to Rockley Old Hall. The Fenomark could be under the tarmac although the grid ref seems to indicate the NW edge of the lane. Grassy verge slightly below tarmac level, no brambles, thin hedge in front of stone wall, fairly accessible. No sign of the marker on the surface - would have expected a 3" square block. Spent 15 minutes probing the ground with a screwdriver; buried stones, concrete and bricks - no result other than arousing the suspicions of passers-by. Concluded that the Fenomark is probably gone, but by no means certain.

Ring station with central bolt, located on the edge of the Cross Fell plateau, adjacent to the higher of two large cairns on the route of the Pennine Way. Corresponds to OS Station T001 in block NY71 369015.875 534251.438 described as a Buried Block. Grid Ref deliberately entered incorrectly to distinguish this site from the Cross Fell trig point; actual separation is about 290 metres. The block was quite deeply buried under a covering of stones, rubbish and peaty gunk. Lettering on circumference very worn. Views towards Cow Green reservoir and Dun Fell.

This no longer appears on the OS map of active stations and www.bigf.ac.uk/station_logs/Archlogs.xls lists it as dead. From grid ref and aerial map, I estimated that the station would have been at the S end of the 7th out of 8 long, single-storey blds aligned N-S. Tried various vantage points to view this; best seemed to be by standing on top of the solid wooden fence next to the SW corner of the site (passers-by ignored me; evidently photographing government buildings in this way is not considered unusual). Would have expected to see the active station but no sign. So suspect its gone, maybe replaced by the fairly recent station at Keyworth.

Owler Bar is listed as a rivet in the OS Passive Station database with station id C1SK2877. There is no sketch or photo. The coordinates point to a location on the N side of the B6054, a little over 500 metres SE from the Barbrook surface block (C1SK2778). Both locations correspond to a grassy verge between a layby and drystone wall. Spent a while probing the rubbish-strewn site but nothing found and no roadside markers evident. Owler Bar was last visited by the OS in 1997 whilst the record for Barbrook dates from 1999. Given the proximity, it therefore seems possible that the Owler Bar rivet was destroyed with Barbrook replacing it.

The OS passive station database lists an entry for C1SK7657, Little Carlton, at SK767576. There is no sketch or photo and the detailed coordinate values are missing. The location corresponds to a section of the A616 which appears to have been realigned and raised above the base of adjacent hedges. Last visited by OS in 1993. The passive database entry of the rivet at nearby Kelham, C1SK7755, dates from 1999. So this suggests that the Little Carlton rivet was lost to roadworks and replaced by Kelham.

Although the lamp posts have changed, the pipe nail in the top of a wooden fence post still exists to indicate the general area. Also noted a nail set in the edge of the pavement; not shown on the OS sketch but seems likely to have been placed as a marker for the block. Measuring back from the latter, found a large, fairly flat-topped, rock just below the surface. We also measured from the fence and spent some time digging around the probable location. Plenty of small stones so difficult to probe, but no concrete found. Most likely conclusion is that the block has gone. But it occurred to me on the way home that the large flat rock might have been placed as a covering for the block; the next visitor might like to take a spade and verify this :)

Half-way up is a peculiar hollow waymarker - presumably meant to be a trail sculpture but it looked more like a discarded bag of cement :) Trig in poor condition with about half the top screed gone; plug missing; numerous small cracks in the pillar surface; plinth crumbling.

Another visit after reading recent reports. Not sure about this one. I thought about asking the occupants of Tingley Hall bungalow about the fate of the trig at the top of their garden only to find that the bungalow and garage have been demolished and all surface vegetation removed. A fence surrounds the building site with an earth bank on the inside. Noone was about and it would have been easy enough to get onto the site through an obvious gap but I decided not to. Views over the fence obstructed by new houses and building plant/materials which make it difficult to determine reference points to how it used to be, but unless the trig is behind the fence at the top of the site then its gone - at least for now.

The hole where the trig used to be is obvious enough but despite a good look around could find no sign of any remains.

Thanks to Andy Bown for making the arrangements with Robinsons Brewery for this visit. We met up at the entrance to the packaging centre on Bredbury Park Way; signed in, were given id badges and high-vis jackets and then escorted to the pillar by a young lady who probably learned far more about trigs than she might reasonably have wanted to know 8-) Still, trig geeks must make a change of sorts from beer bores. Trig in the NE corner of the site on some waste ground; plug replaced otherwise vgc; FB facing away from the security fence. Surprised to see about 15 orchids growing next to the pillar - identified by Rob Woodall as Common Spotted Orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) - thanks!. Subject to prior arrangement (phone or email the head office in Stockport) Robinsons seem quite happy to allow further visits. Friday afternoon seems to be a good time as we happened to arrive just as the shift was finishing for the day.

The pillar is a bit worse for wear; no FB, plug replaced by resin cover, top damaged with two spider-ends exposed and some loose stonework. Revisited whilst looking for the OS Buried Block "Millstone Rigg" at (382448.063,506409.781). The grid ref put this very close to the toposcope. Nothing found although theres a shallow circular depression just to N. The OS records give a last maintenance date of 1983 whereas the topo was constructed 1981 so that doesn't explain its absence. Curious that the block is little more that 300 metres from the pillar, with a clear line of sight to it, and was constructed at much the same time.

Two visits, nothing found and, on balance, I think it might have gone, possibly to roadworks. The marker nail on fence post at W side of road is still present, likewise the gate (although maybe the gatepost has been replaced). On the E side, theres a nail in the top rail of the fence, most probably not OS; the two E side references on the sketch are heavily overgrown and no longer usable. From the road edge, the ground slopes down to the base of the hedge/fence; estimating that the block would have been about 1 metre out from the hedge then the height difference is much less and extra buried depth shouldn't have been a problem. Ground quite soft; easy to probe down to about 1 ft depth but plenty of small stones giving false positives. The only other point of interest was a 1" diameter bolt, embedded in the tarmac, centre of the N-bound side of road and slightly S of my estimated location for the block. This doesn't appear on the sketch and might not be OS but it does resemble the marker nail for C1NZ5111 (Newby Grange). Probed both sides of the road at this point but nothing. Seems unlikely that this bolt is itself a replacement for the original block. Have contacted the OS for further info but they simply responded that the passive database is a 'frozen' data set and no further info is available.

The field had been ploughed leaving very little undisturbed ground alongside the hedge. Nothing found next to or under the stile. So the mark has probably gone although the anchoring pin could still be buried. Have seen Fenomarks in Hebden Bridge and Humberside, neither of which are in the trig marks database and therefore presumably not installed by OS.

I emailed the OS about this one but there was nothing that they could add regarding the type of mark, its exact location or current status. A study of the site via google maps confirms that there is no longer a signal box or similar structure at this location although the narrowness of the embankment here suggests that the Toton East Junction box might have been slightly further north. As regards the possibility of the trig station being a surface mark, google maps shows that the original track crossovers have gone and also that the ballast is clean; so I think that the balance of evidence is such a mark would have been lost when the track was replaced.

Returned today and, after nearly an hour, eventually found it. Deeper than expected. If the passers-by were locals they were doubtless wondering what it all was for. At least it wasn't raining.

Next considered the SW bank of Holderness Drain but it was steep and overgrown. The track shown on older maps has gone. Then a circuit of the golf course perimeter via North's bridge, a housing estate and back to the main road - secure fencing 8-( Finally, asked for permission at the office next to entrance. No problem - should have tried this first. Golfers ignored me and I them. Trig in a damp patch under trees, plug intact, could do with repainting.

Sails is the southernmost 2000ft top on Mallerstang. Its slightly lower than neighbouring Little Fell with a reascent that most would consider insufficient to qualify it as a separate top. Its a wet, tussocky hill with few rock outcrops which is maybe why the OS chose a 'ring' trig station for this location. Its easy to find - at the highest point, next to a small cairn. There are good views of the surrounding hills, especially the profile of Wild Boar Fell. The station itself is waterlogged - several minutes spent in bailing had little effect. Theres a central bolt of approx 1" diameter but I couldn't make out any lettering on the concrete circumference. The station is recorded on benchmarks.ordnancesurvey.co.uk as one of several 'buried blocks' in this area so maybe there are more stations of this kind yet to be found. Acknowledgements to Phil Clayton, whose book 'On High Yorkshire Hills' (Dalesman, 1993) confirmed my suspicion that there could be a ring trig here.

RAF Catfoss became a Thor missile site but has long been adapted to other uses. The northern part of the airfield is currently a storage depot whilst the southern end is the location for several very large farm sheds (chicken-rearing?) but seemingly empty at the moment. The location of the two former MOD 'Project Emily' trig pillars, courtesy of Rod Sladen, were (513604.07,448410.61) N and (513583.47,448013.14) S. The main runway is aligned approx N-S with the pillar sites just off the eastern edge. This can be approached from the S via a small detour off a public bridleway (itself diverted along part of the airfield's perimiter track). But theres nothing of interest in the field where the trigs once were. A few fragments of concrete found but could have been anything.

Noticed that this had recently appeared as a 'user added' record so adding a retrospective log. The site is under the busy A15, close to a footpath sign. FBM presumably lost when the road was raised to cross the railway line by a bridge instead of the level crossing. Not found in OS passive station list; replacement is H1SE9401.

One of a pair constructed on this site for the MOD - Project Emily. Original locations (courtesy of Rod S) SE992573 (E) and SE988570 (W). No sign of the E trig - location is now in a plantation on the northern edge of the former Driffield airfield. The W trig's location would originally have been in a field, just to the W of the airfield. The pillar, complete with foundations, has been moved approx 100m N and dumped on the E side of a hedge, a short distance S of the plantation. Plug missing, minor damage to the top, one sighting hole open (facing hedge). No FB or recess on any of the three accessible faces. Some other odd-shaped bits of concrete nearby but nothing recognisable. Site approached from N via a very wet track and over a heap of rubble which blocks a gap in the hedge. The airfield now appears to be used for various off-road activities. I assume that this is the trig referred to be 'trig-bagger' in an email to the trigonomy list 18 Jan 2007 which mentions "a toppled trig pillar that lays abandoned on a military training area".

Third time lucky! Previous attempts 24 November and 8 December 2007. Grid ref indicated a triangular region bounded by Carter Lane, Castle Crescent and Bempton Lane. Wooden fence, approx 6ft high, on Carter Lane with houses around the rest of the perimiter with no obvious access to the interior. Glimpse over fence implied a sharp drop - designated on www.old-maps.co.uk as 'old chalk pit'. OS passive station H1TA2270 includes a sketch but no photo. Spot heights on map indicated that the FBM was approx 3m below the surrounding level. Subsequent research, with much help from members of Trigonomy and the OS, established that the site owner was at 8 Carter Lane from whom permission to visit was obtained. Visited on a bright Sunday morning along with IRM, RHW and RH. The FBM was part-buried, usual GPS plaque but no benchmark plate (possibly it was buried and we didn't dig deep enough). No railings; concrete discoloured, but FBM otherwise in good condition. Height tag present but blank. Chalk pit converted to a secluded garden. Rod Sladen has since suggested that the benchmark plate would probably be on the FBM face closest to the height tag - that might be something for the next visitor to check.

Didn't venture into the field but its newly planted and so nothing to obstruct the view. Even if toppled, the trig should have been visible but there was no sign of it, the hump it was relocated to, or the original field edge. I checked from the E end of the farm drive, from the roadside and from the track on the N edge of the present boundary - just a big open field. So it appears to have been either destroyed or moved again at some point since the previous visit 2 years ago 8-( Trig symbol still shown on current OS 1:50000 and 1:25000. Geograph has a photo of the trig dated 4 July 2006 so that narrows down the date somewhat.

Not Logged 2007-09-29 11:55 - TP7713 (Crowle Water Tower)

FB Number: Not logged   Condition: Not Logged   Score: 1/10

Prominent water tower on a hill top. Site entrance to S but approached from SW via cemetery, thence from NE corner into open fields and then E along field boundary. The tower is surrounded by a low fence, immediately adjacent to and very visible from the back gardens of neighbouring houses. Microwave transmitters on the tower side. The mark type is a bolt but no sketch or photo is available. On Landranger 112, the tower is located on a 20m contour line whilst the station record gives a height of 30.672m so the bolt is probably located on the roof. The absence of Last Visit, Observation and Coordinate check dates imply that the station was never used. The OS Trig Marks database for km square SE7713 lists a bolt with order 2 and the remark 'HELD FIXED NCE ADJ. TWR RESURFACED 29/06/92'. But it isn't clear if the resurfacing meant that the bolt was destroyed. Coords differ from the passive station by approx 0.03m; the difference is consistent with the OS statement "It is expected that agreement between ETRS89/OSTN02 derived coordinates and the original archive coordinates of triangulation stations (down to third order) will be at the 0.10 metre root mean square (r.m.s) level." In terms of position, it is therefore possible that the passive station and trig marks station are the same item. Alternatively, if the resurfacing remark indicates that the original trig mark was lost then the passive station was a replacement. Another possibility is that the Godnow surface block (CESE7511) recorded in the passive station for 1999 at approx 2.4Km from the Water Tower is a replacement. Without access to further information, the current status of this is indeterminate.

Took rather longer than expected to locate this. Verge overgrown, dense hedgerow, wet greenery. Paint marks have faded away. A single nail at the edge of the road is misleading - look for a pair of similar nails about 7 ft further along. The block is then on a line between these and a large fence-post. Shallow covering of soil and grass. Rain slowly clearing with improving views over the Vale of York.

This is an active station as described on gps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/active.asp The station is located on the SW side of a minor road between Thorncliffe and Blackshaw Moor. Its in a secure fenced enclosure next to Thorncliffe reservoir and is easily visible from the road. One unusual feature is that, instead of being located on the roof of a building, the device is on the top of a tall metal tripod.

Rod Sladen identified the site of the original (1912) Kirkby Stephen FBM as NY75830626 and described it as "destroyed 1976; replaced by new FBM Kirkby Stephen (1976)". The original location fits much better with the line of wall brackets north from the Moorcock Inn. Site visited and, as expected, nothing found. Presumably lost to road improvements. The rebuilt FBM appears to have used the original plaque.

FB Number: S4392   Condition: Good   Score: 5/10

Plug intact, one sighting-hole open. Views ancient and modern. Thanks to previous loggers for flagging the other 'trig'. Resembling an upturned drainpipe, the station is approx 48" high, 26" top diameter (including pipe thickness of approx 1" each side). There are four vertical cracks extending the full height of the pillar. No sighting/drainage holes so possibly the damage was caused by water seeping into the interior then freezing. Theres a standard OS spider; the plug is 3.5" diameter with a centre-punch mark, no lettering. Suspect the plug isn't meant to be removed and that there is no centre pipe. No evidence that there was ever a flush bracket. The pillar is on a square concrete base and presumably has some connection with the construction of Fylingdales Early Warning station. Sightlines from the nearby trig may have been obscured by the tumulus necessitating the construction of this oddity?

Spent 45 minutes measuring, prodding and digging but without any result. Not sure why this one should be proving difficult; the measurement from the gatepost is straightforward and, apart from the surface vegn, the ground is soft for digging. Buried stones giving false positives. Nothing found other than some buried twine. Passing traffic must have wondered what was of interest. As IRM says, a spade would help if anyone wants to have a go at this one. I emailed the OS about this surface block and they kindly replied as follows: "I have spoken to our Geodetic Team who have informed me that one of our surveyors visited the site in question on 6 April 2006 but could not find the point in question. It states in the file that the surveyor did not wish to destroy the mark as he could see no signs of major ground movement. He believed that with the set of co-ordinates and the GPS kit in 'Setting Out' mode we should be able to find it. As a result the next time we are in the area we will do a search and either destroy or find and re-describe the station." - I find it reassuring the OS can have difficulty in finding their own markers 8-)
