Had a chat with the owner Newville farm, nice chap, helpfull and interested. I drove down the road to the next gate on the left to walk through the small wood along the track to the pillar while the chap walked through wood field of his land, says he has not seen the pillar before. Interesting to see the amount of concrete under the pillar.

The objective for today - drive from Alnwick to Coventry and bag one Trig Point in each county we pass through en-route. Planned a route to take in 14 Trigs in 14 different counties. This was #9 of 14 and met two important criteria - given our tight schedule anything more than a few minutes from being a 'roadside' would be a luxury, anything too far from our route of A19-A1-M18-M1-M42 would also be problematic. This met both those conditions, although there are several to the S of Gainsborough that would have meant less of a diversion I chose one that has been 'moved'. Its heartening that some of those TPs that are inconveniently placed for modern farming are at least preserved rather than smashed up. It was our second 'moved' in a row, and it must be said both it and Hampole Wood seem to have a more secure future than the next one we visited, Whitwell...

Shame it has been moved, but huge fair play to the farmer for not destroying it. With the family.

Original trig site a nondescript spot in a low lying field with open views. The original trig remains in it's beached state currently attended by a hay stack.

(227) Parked up in the field entrance way, and made my way up the track. Not too muddy, though a bit of rain had obviously been had in the area. Interesting to see another pillar fully exposed. Damage to the top is noticeable. Pillar history: Built on the 6th of October 1948, at a cost of £8 6s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in October of 1980. Reported as destroyed in October 1995.

Gate open so drove up farmers track, glad I did track was really muddy. Trig still stood up as previously reported. Didn't realise how big they are. Top must have been damaged when they lifted it out of its hole.

An easy access down track off road. Stood on edge of concrete stcking area. Badly damaged top. Very flat surroundings offering no clue to where it might have been sited.

Revisit. Trig and plinth uprooted, spider missing but the FB is still there. Woodland adding a little interest to a very flat landscape. Thanks to previous visitors for finding this one.

Joint visit with Carole. Last time we were in the area dcided not to come to this one in the dark becuase we thought it would be difficult to find. Not so - if only they were all as easy as this one. We parked at the track to the north and walked south and soon spotted the pillar standing high on its foundation. Could have actually driven right up to it. I suppose that it is a shame that it is not at it's original location but nice to know that it has not actually been destroyed. As others have said the top is somewhat damaged and the spider is long gone.

This pillar has been uprooted and moved to a small storage area adjacent to the wood on the east side of the field in which the pillar used to stand. It is easy to access via a farm track running south off Carr Lane. The top is very damaged, spider missing, but the flush bracket is intact. The GR is for the found location. I'm very grateful to peregrinus for contacting me and arranging a joint visit. Thanks also go to Norman Baxter for supplying the information on where to find this pillar.

As Brisey says. Spider gone but FB unscathed. Relocated 600m ESE to yard/storage area. SK8104393817 GPSr (+/-2.8m) Congrats to Norman Baxter for finding this, 17 Sept 2008 (not a TUK member); thanks to asbown for passing on the info. As we were walking out we were met by the ?keeper, saw the parked cars and wondered what we were up to. Perfectly friendly, had no problem with what we were doing. Brewers Arms, Clayworth does a good pint and a nice meal.

My log was a quick stop, just like Father Ted's, with a very similar photograph, but seasonal differences. There is a pile of rubble from a demolished building a bit further east on the lane where the pillar could also have been dumped, but I didn't think to look there at the time.

A barn owl flew across my path on the way to this one. As the field was full of crops, this was virtually a dive by bag, just getting out of the car to take the photo, towards the power station.

Again, definitely gone and not on OS maps. Field appears to have some sort of fodder crop in it. Not possible to hide a pillar.....

ploughed field, no trace of trig, confirmed by OS in Dec. 1998 via JWR. Subsequently found 17/9/08 by Norman Baxter at edge of wood: follow track from gate. As track widens, pillar is between the field edge and wood in an area of other agricultural rubbish. Approx SK810938. Top badly damaged and spider missing but FB S4932 present.
