Emailed Brian and arranged to visit when he was home. The trig stands proud in his front garden and is easily seen from the road. He told us how it came to be there and we signed his visitors book which he keeps next to it. He welcomes visitors and is happy for people to go anytime whether he's home or not.

Parked in Sainsbury's car park and walked round to the trig in the gales. Nice to Speak to Brian who explained how it came to be moved to his front garden. But he couldn't find the visitors book for us to sign.

Parked in Sainsbury's car park then crossed the road to number 46 Newbiggin. Had a great chat with Brian who told me how the Trig ended up in his garden. Great guy with a great story to tell, if your planning on visiting this Trig don't just get a snap shot from the gate, Call at the house have a chat oh and don't forget to log your visit in the visitors book. Trig in good condition with all its metal work. Thanks Brian it was a pleasure speaking with you

As a redundant trig, there is no reason why it could not reappear on an OS map in its new position

Easily found shoehorned in on a garden on a main rd! No redeeming features, no view but nicely painted. No visitors book today, didn’t knock the door just took photos and scarpered.

Nestled in the front garden of 46 Newbiggin, with a visitors book at the side. Re-visit to take an FB clay impression. Shame that spider and FB are painted. I wonder if Brian would let me strip them back to the metal.

(1206) I was originally going to base my trigging day around Driffield, but upon seeing this one, I changed my plan to the Malton area. I'd emailed Brian beforehand, about visiting, and permission was freely given. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be around on the day, so I didn't get to hear first hand the how and why of this pillars survival and relocation. The logs on here certainly makes for interesting reading. Not much in the way of parking in the area, so the Sainsbury's car park off Spittal street came in very handy. The pillar is located at No46 Newbiggin, and is very visible from the pavement. Closer inspection reveals everything to be good, apart from a chipped section to the LHS of the FB. And looking resplendent with a gleaming white coat of paint. Visitors book duly signed, and many photos taken. Cheers, Brian! Also visited the pillars original location for the sake of completeness - that's located about 2 miles away near East Wold farm on Langton Road. Pillar history: Built on the 13th of April 1951, at a cost of £15 5s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1984. Marked as destroyed in February of 1994.

Brian was at home (no 49) and gave a nice commentary of the pillar's history. The visitor book resting against the pillar was duly signed and taken indoors to dry dry out as the protective covering had sprung a leak.

I got the train to Leeds then the 840 Transdev Coastliner bus service to Malton.I emailed Brian & Sally they said they would not be in,they left log book out for me to sign. What a great spot for a retired pillar,I also had a brilliant time searching out BMs & a pint in the Derwent Arms after pics of Cut Mark on it.

Excellent to finally get to visit this moved trig in Brian Dunning's front garden and have a brief coffee with him and sign his visitors book. He was telling me about its removal and how he organised it after he got a call from his boss saying the farmer wanted it removed. Apparently the OS set £250 as the price they were willing to pay a contractor to remove and dispose of a trig and so he bid 240 and actually got paid to organise it. He hired a JCB. It was all a bit of a struggle. I think they cut off some of the subterranean concrete. Very unique.

In between train and bus at Malton, so a quick visit. Trig in vgc, obviously well cared for. Thought it might be a little too early to knock on the door so hope that Brian doesn't mind.

vgc (some minor chipping to bottom corner sustained during its relocation), metal cap, deep letters. Thanks to Brian and Sally for their hospitality. Brian explained that in the case of this and other tertiaries, in the early 1990s, the farmers were given the choice of taking responsibility for them, or having them removed at the OS expense. In this case the farmer opted to have it removed although it didn't seem to be in the way of anything.

This trig pillar was removed from Langton Wold in 1994/5, but is has not been destroyed as previous logs suggest. I know this because it has pride of place in my front garden in Malton. I am an ex OS employee and was given the job of removal and disposal of this trig. Anyone wishing to view it, can contact me by email. Thank you, Brian Dunning.

Gap in hedge; beginnings of a tip but no trig. The OS benchmarks database records it as destroyed Nov 1994. Unidentifiable concrete fragment nearby. Nice views to N. Wide pavement up from Norton presumably built for the benefit of nags rather than pedestrians.

The 1:25000 shows the trig at East side of road where hedge meets road. The end of the hedge has been grubbed out to allow access between fields and I'm sure this was where trig situated. No sign at all.
