On the bend in the road just beyond Home Farm, on south side of road. Inside of cage could do with a bit of clearing.

Northumberland. It is getting overgrown by a privet bush inside the railings - and it is only March! Height tag still in place.

A roadside flyby. Fenced and overgrown.. It looked bigger than regular FBMs.

Buried in the middle of nettles, tree branches etc etc. Finally cleared it enough to see and photograph it!! Height plate still clearly visible.

This FBM is beside a lane that is a turning off the old A1. This confused me as I was navigating with an old OS map that still showed it as the A1. Fairly overgrown inside the fence and branches needed to be held aside to photograph the FBM.

Heavily overgrown, but easily located because of green railings. Pillar in good condition, complete with height plate (236.88ft). Poor GPS reception.
