Parked up along the country land and went through the gate, past the pillar, to knock on the door and ask permission. Friendly chap said no bother so returned for photos. Fortunately the excavation work carried out by Waggers49 held up and there were only a few blades of grass and a couple of leaves to move for clear view of FB number. A fairly easy, if unspectacular, bag not far off the A1.

, 3 of 4 today, I parked in a small lane at the side of the bungalow/Florist and asked the lady owner for permission, which was readily given to see the trig, the trig is in good condition but partially buried, I had to dig some weeds and earth away to expose the FB. FB, Spider and Centre plug are all in position, couldn’t see the sight holes as they were below ground level.

Pulled in drive to Bungalow and asked at house, Kind lady owner gave us permission to enter her garden. Trig in great condition with all its metal work sat proudly on the front lawn. Flush Bracket slightly under ground so you have to remove the soil to reveal the number, Lady owner even came out with water in a dish for our dog and gave us a bottle of water to take with us, Why can't all Trig owners be like this

(1314) Pillar visible from the road. Called at the house and had a wee chat with the owner. Familiar with trigbaggers and their hobby, and he recounted the tale of Boneychest's visit. Permission readily given for a closer look at the pillar. Happy to find that the FB was exposed and fully readable. A pillar in your own garden - nice! Pillar history: Built on the 23rd of May 1938, at a cost of £3 0s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in May of 1979.

Stopped in the bus stop next to the bungalow and spotted the pillar in the garden; knocked on the door to ask permission to take photograph and very surprised to find the owner is an old workmate of mine that I hadn't seen for 14 years - he bought the bungalow last September.

Knocked at the bungalow but no one in. This trig would win a prize at most flower shows with the current floral display on and around it (see pic). It has to be one of the most domesticated trigs in the UK.

A joint visit with Carole. This one is in the garden of a bungalow at the side of the A43 with a convenient lane to park in to the north-east. Tried to obtain permission from the householder but no one seemed to be at home. The pillar is in the middle of a lawned area but has a circular flower bed round it. Unfortunately the earth of the bed has been raised to obscure the flush bracket. In excellent condition and still retains an original metal indented lettered plug. The property is currently up for sale should anyone want to have a home with a pillar this could be tailor made for you!

Knocked on front door but no answer. As bungalow had a For Sale sign up assumed it to still be the same occupant so had a quick close-up viewing of the trig. Lovely garden.

Yet another slight diversion from one of our regular trips Kent - Yorkshire. Pulled into Slate Drift off the busy A43 and walked back. Took one shot from road then decided to try our luck and knock at door of bungalow. Mr. Tarry ( change the vowel and we would share the same surname) greeted us at the door and to our surprise, not only gave permission but volunteered to unearth the flush bracket for us ! We had a long chat about trig pillars and local building material etc. he told us that someone from Leeds had been there recently to inspect the pillar. We would like to thank Mr. Tarry for his friendliness and we wish him and his family all the best for their future in New Zealand.
