Rivet benchmark on the River Alyn bridge at Llong

Covered with ivy for many years this Ordnance Survey rivet benchmark has just re-appeared as the bridge has now been tidied up and a lot of the ivy has been removed. It is recorded on the 1888-1913 map as levelled at 315 feet above Liverpool Datum. For a wider view see SJ2662 : River Alyn bridge at Llong Benchmark Database: Link

Bench mark by Blackgates Lodge

This bench mark is on the end of the stone wall next to Blackgates Lodge (west). It is close to the edge of the road and was concealed by a build up of soil, which I replaced.

View between the Blackgates Lodges

Looking between the two Blackgates Lodges towards the old stone bridge over the Afon Terrig. The 1872 O.S. map indicates that the track from the lodges crosses the bridge and then continues through the parkland to the early C18 Leeswood Hall.

Blackgates Lodge and gates

Blackgates Lodge (west), and the black gates that once guarded access to the C18 Leeswood Hall. The ornate pediment represents 'Hell', whilst a second lodge building facing it represents 'Heaven'. In November 2012 the lodges are for sale.
