Ordnance Survey documents indicate that a benchmark levelled at 63.827 feet above Liverpool Datum was cut 4.14 feet above surface here during the 1843/4 Kirkby Kendal to Carlisle 1GL Survey. The mark appears to have eroded away. The surveyor's description was 'No. 385. Mark on North-west pier of Caldew-gate Railway Bridge'
