SO7875 : Nineteenth century benchmark on wall
taken 8 years ago, near to Bewdley, Worcestershire, England
Nineteenth century benchmark on wall
This benchmark was established in 1849 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 188.1030 feet [57.3338 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included on the Worcester to Aberystwyth levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 45. Mark on stone wall at South side of road, near junction of fence ; 1.26ft. above surface" (Public Abstract p.551). The rather worn mark is easily found to the west of a small gate.
