taken 8 years ago, near to Worcester, Worcestershire, England
Nineteenth-century benchmark on Worcester County Court
This benchmark was established in 1844 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 79.661 feet [24.281 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 383. Mark on face of stone work under pillar of portico of County Court House ; 2.11 ft. above centre of road" (Public Abstract p.34). The mark is faint and not easy to see on the weathered stonework, on the north face of the building, directly beneath the centre of the column.
