A great find! Parked at end of housing estate on Grassington Drive. Footpath into play area and followed wire fencing round to find a little wooden bridge. Trig laid nicely on blocks by gate.

Revisit, 1st visit on 10/11/2007, always nice to see a pillar return even if it does play havoc with the spreadsheets.

Parked in the Crows nest pub car park then followed PROW opposite until you cross bridge to get to kissing gate where toppled pillar rest, until it can hopefully get a new home for it to live. Trig in good condition with all its metal work still in place

Parked on Armstrong Road on the new housing estate. As building remains ongoing on that estate, the public right of way (PROW) that starts at SP 37760 91124 is closed. Hence, took the PROW from Crowhill Road instead and walked up to the pillar from there. The pillar now lies toppled next to a gate. Great find! Delighted that rather than destroy the pillar, the original land owner has simply moved it to adjacent a PROW for the benefit of all.

Good condition, on side,supported on wooden blocks , flush bracket facing down , next to metal kissing gate near footbridge . Curious as obviously relocated with care . Clear sunny day. Easy if muddy access from nearby housing estate Photographed FB from below.

A recently planted geocache alerted me to the presence of this trigpoint, now lying recumbent next to a kissing gate/footbridge. "The Cyclist"'s log gives good instructions on how to get here; a previous footpath I used to frequent has been obliterated by the new housing development.

The flush bracket Difficult to get as the flush bracket is on the underneath of the recumbent pillar - and I wasn't going to lie in the mud!

Informed of recent find of the moved pillar by "What's the Point" on Saturday. Provided an objective for today's cycle ride. Would have looked at the original site in my first years of trigging as marked on 1: 50,000 OS map. Approached off housing estate to South. In retrospect best way is off A4254 at roundabout, then left to Holly Walk and left again to Bramble Close. At the end a tarred footpath between the houses leads to a grassed children's play area. Cross this diagonally right and ROW through hedge, and pass alongside metal security barriers. Cross an obvious large footbridge directly ahead and the pillar is immediately on the left. Moderately wet and muddy; I've walked to worse in cycling shoes, but came equipped with and changed into boots. Now visited 2774 pillars .

N side of path, E side of hedge line beside stile, retains original metal plug with shallow lettering. Flush bracket located by feel on a muddy day, well done to Pritch227 for confirming the number and to Colin for finding the pillar. Footpath has been diverted due to construction works, currently from south, very easy, albeit wet and muddy today

Non visit log: a toppled pillar has been found at SP 38224 91070, on RoW next to a gate, but with a spider. Would be good to get farmer to clarify (former GR SP 38443 91674)

(2659) Pillar gone, viewed general location only. Pillar history: Built on the 1st of October 1947, at a cost of £8 0s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1978. Marked as destroyed December 2003. FB was S4299. Revisited 15.12.23 Parked on Grassington Drive and from there the pillar was easily reached. Moved and laying prone - 600m or so from its original location. FB on side facing down, but just enough clearance to slide the phone under to photograph. All other metalwork intact. Centre cap with lightly indented lettering. Top showing remains of white paint. Nice to have another pillar back from the dead.

Peered through the hedge having climbed a gate into field by road. No sign, and no motivation to go further. OS Says it was there in 1978. It must have been farmorised in 80s or early 90s?

Drive-by on the nearby road. Hence very inaccurate gridref! The logs seem thorough, so no real desire to wade through another claggy field for a missing trig.

No trace in the field. I later talked to a farmer who confirmed it's removal, indeed he has the flush plate and the bronze top casting.

Didn't find it as I didn't really look for it, but still on my 1:25000 map. Knew from comments here that it has gone. As I was walking from sp389907 to sp376941, thought I'd take a few minutes out to give the area a quick look.

Scoured the fence line and there is no hiding place here between two hugr arable fields. I found what looked like the hole where it was. Also climbed the grass mound adjacent to the fence but no sign. No doubt somebody will tell us the FB number?......

My GPS indicated that this trig should have been at what is now a wire fence between two fields but there is no sign of it in reality. My guess is that it was removed when the hedge between the fields was removed and replaced with the wire fence. I wonder what happened to it. Is it under the very large mound of earth nearby? Surely this is a man-made pile.
