OS Bench Mark

OS cut bench mark from the 20th century levelling on south parapet of Brantbeck Bridge over Lancaster Canal. This is a bit of a puzzle as it is upside down, although the parapet shows no signs of being rebuilt. It is marked on the 1932 25" OS map and corresponds to the description in the OS database: BRANTBECK BR PARA CANAL C NE FACE (ODN 28.831m, AGL 0.2m). The bench mark shown in SD4757 : Ordnance Survey Cut Mark is on the north parapet and must be a previous mark from the 19th century levelling as shown on the 1891 and 1913 maps (although it changes position between the two editions!).

Milestone Marker 30-27 (91-90), Lancaster Canal - Site of missing Ashton Park Milestone

Of the 56 milestones on the Lancaster Canal five are missing. This is the site of one of them. If the milestone was there the inscription would be Garstang / 10 :: Lancaster / 3 It would be located 27 miles from the Centre of Preston and 30 miles from Kendal. Any information about this milestone would be appreciated, please.

Building formerly Lancaster School of Nursing

Looks in disrepair, but around the late 80's, before it closed altogether and the school moved, it was a busy and thriving school, where registered nurse training was in full swing, and opportunities to visit the Royal Albert Hospital itself, for further training was the norm.
