OS Flush Bracket 2179 - Little Hangbank Bridge

This area has a very unusual concentration of 2GL Flush Brackets Link

Link

2GL Series Flush brackets were first used during the 2nd Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales between 1912 and 1921. The 2GL series was numbered from OSBM 1 to OSBM 3000 and did not have a prefix letter. The vast majority of the flush brackets in the 2GL series were placed on walls and buildings, but a small number were used on triangulation pillars. There are 48 examples of these listed in the database, all in the range OSBM 2732 to OSBM 2999. In addition to England and Wales, the survey also covered part of the southeast of Scotland, in roughly the area between Newcastleton, Dunbar, and Berwick upon Tweed.
