Heading down the M6 so took a short detour to bag a couple of easy trigs in the area. Parked in the passing place by the reservoir on Duxon Hill lane and hopped over the gate with all the warning signs. A short distance up to the reservoir where I grabbed a couple of photos, had a walk around the general area and climbed the ladder to take a photo of the roof. Could hear some voices and decided to make a swift exit back to the car. No views at all but flooded reservoir was nice.

Gone. Destroyed October 1948, just 3 years after its construction. Lost to the reservoir and replaced by bolt, which is on the roof of the reservoir building

Stood on the roof of the enclosed reservoir which stands on the old pillar's site.If it was destroyed in 1948, over 70 years ago, then it's time to consign this one to the history books.

An underground reservoir stands where this used to be. There are good views when there's a break in the trees to Preston to the west and West Pennine moors to the east. It's a short and pleasant walk to it, passing a lovely flooded quarry.

Like others I called here after visiting the nearby FBM in the hope that the Trig Pillar fairy had waved her wand and replaced it. No such luck.

Replaced with a small hilltop reservoir - a deer skipped past and a hawk of somekind hovered overhead as I sauntered around the brickwork. :)

Duxon Hill ...is that a painted benchmark? :)

Just up the road from Hoghton FBM. Assuming the trig was at the hilltop, then long gone to reservoir.

Got Close. There is a brick-built bunker located at the exact co-ordinates of the trig. It has long gone! Shame, because it was a hard walk for my partner with hayfever and Asthma...

Stones throw away from Hoghton FBM. I feared that the trig was within the reservoir compound (which has usual water authority security including barbed wire on surrounding wall etc). Have since obtained info that trig was built 03/08/45 and subsequently destroyed on 28/10/48. Trig only just made it to it's 3rd birthday - infanticide.
