Benchmark on wall by Hope railway bridge, Fagl Lane

Ordnance Survey benchmark on the stone wall by the south parapet of Hope railway bridge in Fagl Lane. Levelled at 87.063m above Newlyn Datum, verified 1959. The bridge creates an 'S' bend in the road and judging by the damage to the adjacent metal box the cut mark has done well to survive.

Hope Mountain Trig Point

Yeah this may be like any trig point but believe me this is the trig point on a small hill called Hope Mountain near to Wrexham. The hills in the background are near to the north area of Llangollen.
