Great condition, Interesting plaque attached to the front and an old Royal Observer Corps monitoring post near to where you need to park, before heading to the trig, cross the road and look behind the hedge to the right.

Front face of pillar totally overtaken by a large blue plaque - one of two I found on today's trigspedition. Might return to this neck of the woods if there are others nearby. Pillar is in the middle of a hedge, but some gardening has been done to completely expose it. That's the good news. The bad news is that its base had multiple bags of dogmess around it, which just makes me hate dog owners. Surely it's better to leave it unbagged if you're just going to leave it in the countryside? Idiot me then hung my trusty walking stick on a branch in the hedge whilst I took my usual pics of the pillar, and then forgot to retrieve it, so I'm now without a nettlewhacker, and I'm also unwittingly guilty of littering. Easily accessed, good condition, decent views, and carrying interesting local information, this pillar should not have been the most annoying part of today's trip.

Pulled over on west side of road at start of footpath heading west about a mile north east of Ticknall on A514. Pillar not visible from the road along hedge line so climbed over fence into field on north of path and walked west looking into the hedge. After about two hundred and fifty meters realised I must have missed it crossed through hedge to south side and walked back east towards the road. About fifty meters from the road pillar is nestled deep in the hedge. It has a blue information plaque on the south side. Put there by the local authority. Indicates that its historical significance is appreciated. FB also on that side which is the only side exposed. Spider and cap in place. Good views to north over the top of the hedge.

(1944) Uneven small layby at the start of the track. Short walk down from there to the pillar. All in good condition, though the top was hard to fully view. And sporting a massive plaque detailing the bridleway. Plenty of planes in the sky - not surprising being so close to East Midlands airport. Pillar history: Built on the 26th of February 1937, at a cost of £5 18s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in April of 1978.

I parked in the layby (making sure to respect the notices which suggest that blocking the gateway will result in your car being flattened by a logging truck !) for a very short walk up the broad dry track. The pillar is tucked away in the hedge, in good condition, and the path side of the pillar is almost totally covered by a tapering blue plaque explaining the history of ... the bridleway. Strange. At first I was looking to the sides for the FB plate, nope, not there , surely they didn't cover it with the big blue thing ? The only way to see the far side of the pillar (the hawthorn is dense) was to lean over the top of the pillar ... no, no FB there. Ah, it's on the same face as the big blue plaque, I just needed to flatten the nettles!

On a bridleway which crosses the main road (look for the warning-horses sign). Layby right next to the entrance.

Limited parking on west side of A514 then a short easy walk to trig point. Interesting information plaque on SW side.

First time I have seen a trig stone used as a notice board (A very informative one). Easy to find but somewhat overgrown in May.

Pillar in excellent shape, complete with all metalwork plus the nice plaque that other visitors have noted. Nice views, especially of the sunset on this occasion!

An easy bag, just follow the bridel way, it is in the hedge on the right if you are walking from the road.

A nice bag on the first of the first evening in British Summer time. Made the most of the evening by having a very pleasant walk to the nearby bolt and impossible to find FBM. The footpath to the bolt takes you through a conservation area teeming with bird life.

Intact pillar with plug. Very large metal plaque on the side - obviously specially made as the shape was perfect! This gave a really detailed history of the bridleway between Melbourne and Mitton upon which the pillar stands. Good views in all directions except westwards, even on a day of tipping rain like this one!

An interesting one this... The pillar is beside a bridleway and has been coopted by the local authority as a tourist information notice board. A very informative and attractive one at that. Pillar is in good condition and intact. Fine view over Derby and Nottingham.
