Really easy roadside bag whilst travelling to visit friends. Even though it is in a public spot I did notice a farmer in a truck up the road watching me then a guy from Woodgreen came out of nowhere to see what I was doing. He was a really nice guy and just explained that they had had a few animals dumped on this particular stretch of road recently plus a break in, in the area (hence the farmer). When I explained what I was doing (and coincidentally had a trig book in the car to show him) he was more than fine and I think relieved. He’d never heard of trigs before and didn’t know that’s what it was outside the Woodgreen premises so we talked for quite a while. He said at least now he’d know if anyone stopped there in future and said the same he’d know what they were talking about. I was in a total public place with no issues, but I didn’t mind at all being approached, and totally understand why. Just thought I’d mention all this in case anyone else stopped by as you may or may not get this too but there are no issues at all and actually quite pleased they were looking out for the animals.

(3360) A nice and easy roadsider. Parked in entrance of the animal shelter and then a short walk from there to the pillar. Apart from a slight lean to it, the pillar is in good condition and sporting all its metalwork. Centre cap with indented lettering. Pillar history: Built on the 26th of August 1949, at a cost of £8 17s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1985.

Off to France for a ski trip so took the chance to stop off for this easy bag close to the A14. Parked up about 50m north of the pillar in the gateway opposite the Wood Green Animal Shelter entrance and crossed the road to walk back to it. Like other Cambridgeshire roadside Trigs the locals seem to make votive offerings to the pillar of their favourite junk food containers.

On way down to visit daughter and hubby in their new house, and couldn't resist bagging a couple of trigs. Trig is easily spotted in the verge S of entrance to animal rescue place. I drove past the trig and drove on to the verge, don't park in the entrance to the rescue centre as there is CCTV there. No views as such.

Visiting this trig provided a welcome diversion from our route North. Parked in Wood Green animal shelter and made use of their facilities - much nicer than motorway service areas and food and drink at reasonable prices. Pillar is also very visible on Google maps.

One of the easiest bags ever as you can virtually park next to it. Slightly eroded at the base where the ditch has been cut but I doubt it'll get any worse and the pillar itself is in very good nick.

I wouldn't of said this Trigpoint was damaged. If it was I didn't spot it properly so I have logged it as good. In fact it was the first of 3 today that were pleasantly found with all their features intact. Anyway a very easy Trig to log. Located at the main entrance of the Wood Green animal shelter and impossible to miss. The base has been exposed by the ditch over time but nothing to drastic.

There is a visible crack in the soil around the base of this pillar. The base is exposed on the Western side where a drainage ditch runs by. I agree that the ditch is the likely last resting place for this pillar, but it will probably take a number of years before gravity finally beats it.
