Southowram S1768 from GR: SE 11101 23599. The exact position is now a green field again.

As per the previous comments, this one is sadly no more. I had a pretty unsuccessful outing today hoping to find both the Trigs here and at Beacon Hill. The later wasn't found purely down to my error.

(2418) Followed the PRoW from Yeadon Drive, and made my way to the location. Pillar still showing up on maps, though it disappeared at some point between August and September 2008 going by the logs on here. A glimmer of hope maybe for its survival somewhere going by dewdrop's post - but as that dates from 2010... Pillar history: Built on the 27th of April 1937, at a cost of £4 8s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1986. Marked as destroyed September 2008. FB was S1768

I should have read earlier reviews first but hey-ho was a pleasant short stroll up to where the trig is marked on the OS map!

Walked along Yeadon Drive and picked up the footpath that leads towards the site of the destroyed trig a dull dreary uninteresting spot

Well following on from our eventful stop at Beacon Hill, a sad one - my first logging of a definitely destroyed trig where not even a cairn etc. remains (unlike Pen y Fan). Wouldn't normally bother but the effort to find (didn't read the logs stupid me) means I might as well. Quite an unworldly place with the curls of threatening grey cloud and the high Pennine plateau giving a near coastal feel of strange distance. One other slight compensation - GPO benchmark (minus plate) but still with "ft" on the concrete on the road near the nursery.

You can stand on the original location, definitely not here, quarry is being filled in and the are lots of places where it could be, including at the bottom! - I walked right round the area, thinking where would I of put it if I was told to move it away from the edge of the quarry. No luck - who knows may be it will re-emerge!

located where it should be, on edge of quarry.Local man said trig was removed from high point about a year ago to stop it from falling into quarry.Wonder where it is now. Quarry being filled in and re-landscaped, maybe it will be returned.

Could not find the trig, Presumed it had been swallowed up by the quarrying. Did an extensive search of the area before coming to this conclusion.

It looks like this one has finally been swallowed up in to the ever expanding quarry nearby. I drove past on West Lane today and the trig, which was always clearly visible from the road, was no longer there - just evidence of freshly turned earth and quarrying activities. Maybe the next visitor to the trig could confirm its fate?

Easily visible. I used the right of way tack from the road turning left on footpath just after passing radio mast. Then cut across fields through open gateways to trig. Now only just clinging to edge of quarry. I managed to touch by hanging over metal barrier didn't trust myself to do a circuit!!

Quarried on two sides to within about 20ft not sure how long it will last but I thin the quarry is nearing its limits unless if owns the field on the other side of the wall
