Barely recognisable as a trig pillar thanks to the attentions of local pond life.On edge of rough housing estate.Good views over Sheffield including Sheff Weds soccer ground.

still standing but very badly damaged. Metal work missing and has been hacked at so is no longer a symmetrical shape!

Found this on the outskirts of Sheffield. Parked in a little layby and followed the footpath straight to it. Shame about its condition and the flush bracket is missing

Attacks continue and this has to fall into an at risk category. looks more like a neolithic stone than a trig point

Much damaged since a previous visit on 23.11.96 when the FB was in place. Seems to be a hang out for the local strong cider drinkers, so continued chiselling is likely.

Not a technical or professional comment but got to say it broke my heart. Local trig point to my dads house. He spent hours pointing out distant villages from the spider plate when I was a lad. Wish I could get hold of the little darlings who did this!Views are spectacular

This trig has been badly beaten-up; you need to double check just to be sure that it really is a trig pillar. All metalwork pinched and concrete battered. What remains is covered with graffiti. The photo on GRP's OSBM site indicates that this was S4138.

Birley Edge - No FB. The internal angle iron is exposed.

Pillar on edge of housing development overlooking electricity pylons and industrial sites on River Don. Visit on sunny but cool day. Observed FB number S4138 at variance with that on this website.

S4138 in 1983 Ros, Laura and Bob in attendance.
