Clavering Triangulation Pillar In "celebration" of the fact that in November 2006 the Ordnance Survey have finally decided to make available all their co-ordinate and height data for triangulation points and bench marks free of charge on line, here is an image of a totally non-descript pillar skulking away under a hedge. Looking at its rural isolation and the dense growth of the hedge I wonder when it was last used for its true purpose!

As a link to the OS site the original archive OSGB36 National Grid co-ordinates and the height of the flush bracket on the pillar above Ordnance Survey Datum Newlyn can be found by typing the grid square into the relevant page selected from here  <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://benchmarks.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=111" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://benchmarks.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=111">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
