Sometimes luck is on one’s side. From the E along the Oxhey Ridge Close, both gates conveniently open. Pillar sits in open area of lawn in front of house, standard square concrete neatly painted cream with decorative flower pot on top.

Parked in car park on south of road. Crossed over to lane and then left, west, up short driveway to gated properties. Pressed buzzer on right hand gatepost. No answer but the gate swung open. Could see pillar next to drive on lawn of house on right, no. 2 I think. Went to front door and rang bell. No answer. Felt a bit rude helping myself to photographs. Pillar used as a stand for a plant container. Removed a little soil to get a clear shot of FB number. No views. In the meantime the gate had closed behind me. Approaching it on foot did not have the desired effect. Went to another house where a lady came to the window. I explained I had been to the house next door but nobody was there. I wanted to see the TP. A slightly baffled expression. I asked if they could open the gate which they obliged.

In secure open plan housing compound. Resident let me in but insisted I ask at "Arundel" (I had to almost pass trig to get to door). Permission granted but occupants not English and got the impression they hadn't a clue what I was doing. TRig recently painted cream and used as a plant pot holder

Definitely reachable as long as there's someone to open the gates. Located in a secure residential compound of 3 large houses, the pillar is next to the garage block of 'Arundel', 2 Oxley Ridge Close. A neighbour kindly allowed me access. Unfortunately the stone urn was frozen to top the the pillar so no spider photos. All sight holes are now below ground level, which encroaches part-way up the FB. Nice cream coat of paint. No views.

First visit of 2013.1st of an intended round of urban pillars on this side of London. Up private road and viewed through security gate.

Outer security gate open but inner gate closed. Revisit for photo as mine wasn't working when I originally visited in 2008 - but settled for a through-the-gate photo. Condition changed to "Unreachable but visible" as no-one has logged close-up in the last 5 years - maybe gate always kept closed nowadays? There's an intercom but I didn't try it.

Final trig of the day. Parked on main road outside private estate. Nobody home so no way passed security gate :(

vgc, metal cap, shallow letters, in edge of front lawn of house, close to garage and obvious from front gate. FB nums buried again. Courtesy knock - no problem looking at the trig and I could take the plant pot / ornament off the top if I wished. No pics - camera died yesterday - but good pics already on site.

Warned off by "Private" signs. Hard to imagine a pillar here ever being of any use

We were caching in the area so passed close to this. We couldn't see a way past the "Private - no trepassing" signs.

This one's a survivor as it now features in the garden of a recently built house. The resident family were thrilled to finally know what it was and enjoyed the history lesson. The lawn has been raised to the point of almost obscuring the FB.

Flush bracket Almost covered by the lawn.
Spider Minus the flowerpot.
Original plug. Minus the dirt.
The trig Complete with flowerpot.

Looked near where the little blue triangle is on map, but couldn't find the concrete counterpart.
