SJ2988 : A damaged benchmark

taken 2 years ago, 3 km from Prenton, Wirral, England

A damaged benchmark
A damaged benchmark
At this coordinate, there is supposed to be an OS benchmark, but it has been logged as destroyed. The logger makes the note "Wall shows signs of repair, and there is no trace of this mark." LinkExternal link. However, on closer inspection, one can make out the line and arrow on the pale stone diagonally up from the seedling in the lower right corner of the photo. The benchmark was originally 0.5 m above ground level. I suspect that the wall was partly demolished when it was repaired, and this stone found itself in a different position in the wall.
