Was riding along with a friend on a business trip to Whitley Bay and he reluctantly agreed to drive me to this TP. He was especially disappointed to learn that there was nothing there to see, so he sat grumbling in the car while I dodged the cars and walked around the general area where the pillar would have been. He still couldn't understand why I would want to stand in a road in a nondescript part of Tyneside. I bought him a beer to compensate.

Stayed in South Shields overnight as Mrs A1M is on offshore survival courses there (free hotel for the night). Took the opportunity to bag the destroyed ones in the Newcastle before heading home to Scotland.

Staying at the Premier Inn Holystone. Exam tomorrow, so some trig relaxation first. Walked down the road to the roundabout where the Range is. Pillar located, or would have been, on the W side of the roundabout. Not a sign of any remains, but it was dark. Extra point for Xmas tree.

Where is the Farm? Merry Christmas 2019 Trig People.

Long gone. I tend to the theory that ithe site is buried under the busy road junction. Grid ref taken from closest ‘safe’ point to estimated location. Reasonable views to SE only redeeming feature.

Gone. Probably lost to roadworks or landscaping. The exposed concrete not conclusive .

Not Sure!! following on from Rick Trig's advice, I donned the high viz, and got out the Army folding spade and had a dig, it is a lump of trig like concrete, however, I was unable to find real proof in the form of sighting holes FB recess etc, have logged as remains, to get some more opinions. what do we think?

Marking this as remains found......convinced this is the base, unless someone advises different.

Gone to the Great Trig Maker in the sky. Predominently industrial estate to the north & west and arable land south & east, hardly inspiring. Gets 1 for the view east.

An ex-trig Would have been at the right hand junction near the red car
An ex-trig 2 Roughly where the lamp post is

Northumberland. No trig and no score. The onward march of development has transformed this place.

As I have passed this location many times and was aware that it was missing. The location is now in the middle of the A191 on the exit of a roundabout.
