SO8352 : Nineteenth-century benchmark on milestone
taken 8 years ago, near to Powick, Worcestershire, England
Nineteenth-century benchmark on milestone
This benchmark was established in 1844 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 54.972 feet [16.755 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Manchester to Gloucester levelling line. The surveyor's description was No. 388. Mark on the 2d milestone from Worcester, and 8th from Upton-on-Severn ; 3.73 ft. above centre of road (Public Abstract p.34). The mark no longer appears on the OS database, because the milestone is now inside the hedge, rendering the benchmark unusable.
