I think this may be my favourite level round here. (There's another similar one on the building housing the turbine but that's less scenic.) @LordOrk @Soapy_Wit_Tank @tismenic70

Feels like hitting the jackpot. Neat inscription, including date of building, and a crisp benchmark, at Limestone Brae in West Allendale, #Northumberland @BBenchmarks

A benchmark that doesn’t appear to be on the OS database but is evident on the ground. Or at least on the gatepost on Jesus College, Cambridge. TL 4518 5881 #benchmark

The most modern postbox I have ever seen for #postboxsaturday. This replaces one that was located nearby but was embedded in the wall of a house. Apparently the residents didn’t like this and their objections led to its replacement.
