We finished our round with a very easy pillar. We parked up outside the pub, where the pillar is clearly visible from, nipped up the road and along the short bit of ROW between two houses. The pillar is tucked in on the footpath by the fence. It's leaning and looking a bit scruffy now, but top marks to Michael (Slateloose) and the farmer/landowner for saving this one, and all the metalwork has survived - well done. My little trigbagger visited this one with mummy a long time ago, so this was actually her 44th. All done and dusted and back to the car inside 5 minutes.

Parked on triangle of grass near pub to N. Walked roud to the RoW. Pillar sits ~70m along it against the field boundary. It has a definite tilt, so damaged as well as moved. Original centre cap retained, lightly indented lettering; all sight hole plugs, except the front, are degrading. Walked up field boundary to where OS had originally installed it.

(1701) After visiting TP4839 (S4080) is was time to double back on myself to bag another pillar that had been moved. The difference between this one and Milnthorpe couldn't be greater. So hats off to the farmer, along with slateloose and others, who helped resite the pillar in an easily accessible spot, and also for continuing to care for it. Great work lads! Pillar history: Built on the 3rd of June 1937, at a cost of £4 15s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in August of 1985. Marked as being destroyed in February of 2002.

This is the nearest trig point to my home. The condition has now changed from moved to moved / good. After reading recent logs a friend of mine spoke to the farmer and we arranged to meet up with him, he was very keen to replace the trig point. I suggested a spot near to the public footpath to give easy access to anyone logging the trig. Its wasn't possible to place it back in or near its original location but at least its back up standing in a location for people to see and visit. So this morning with help of the farmer the three of us resited the trig in its new location (SE3901318546) which adjacent to the footpath from Weeland road east through the farm with the com's mast.We are also hoping to repaint it in the next couple of weeks.

People around barns, so asked them for permission to visit. The senior (attested to being 74) took me round. Adjacent to comms mast lying on side with FB uppermost and base attached. Was told that it was originally in a hedge line adjacent to an ash tree. The former was removed to aid machinery use. Later the tree was badly damaged in a storm and disturbed the pillar, so both were removed. Prompted by the increased interest, he is thinking of re-erecting the pillar somewhere accessible close to the road.
