Parked on Tingley Hall Rise, next to the area in which the pillar has been moved to, which is a small communal garden within the housing estate. Very nice setting. If more developers were as a considerate as this, then a lot fewer pillars would have been lost to housing.

(1724) Uprooted from its original location, and these last ten years it's been a permanent feature of a small - and well maintained - garden area. So, hats off to the housing developers for saving this one. Some damage/chipping is noticeable to the top, and the centre plug is non original, but that aside, it's looking great in it's new setting. Pillar history: Built on the 4th of December 1946, at a cost of £6 5s 0d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1986. Marked as destroyed in May of 2010.

A wonderful decision by the developer to not only retain and reposition the pillar, but to give it centre stage in its own little communal garden. This act of considerate conservation should be applauded, hence the higher rating. Pillar is a little rough - it's damaged on the top edges and is heavily weathered - but is no less pleasant a visit for it. A fine spot.

Second attempt at this one as, like others, I had wasted time in the estates to the south that don't join on. This time, with better research, success! I had intended to park at the White Bear pub on Tingley roundabout, but this appeared closed down although it has been a pub for as long as I can remember. Parking was available just off the A650 near where the white railings begin there is a semi circular area near a small war memorial. Walked down the road that is perpendicular to the A650 heading W, found Tingley Hall Rise and followed to the trig garden. Truly unusual, this trig must have been trickier in its day, but access is now straightforward. Only downside is a feeling of being watched a little by the new houses. Trig in good condition, no graffiti as yet. An easy bag.

The developers have done an excellent job preserving the pillar, making it the central feature of the gardens in Tingley Hall Rise. A study of the locality on Google Earth would indicate that the original position of the trig was in what is now the back garden of no. 6.

Spotted this memorial (23/04/2014) on the green as we pulled out of the A650 Bradford Road slip-road that leads to Tingley Hall Rise. Nothing to do with the trig but worthy of attention.

A nice bit of landscape gardening. Situated in Tingley Hall Rise (road name) must be approached from the north along an old section of Bradford road 250m before you get to the island – not shown on Google maps – or my satnav – I spent some time driving round the estate to the south (should have read the logs more carefully) There can’t be many trigpoints that can be located so easily on satellite maps – see my reproduction from Bing maps showing the present and previous locations.

Log #33. (148m). Amazing. Good description by MAC.HAWK. The trig has actually been moved about 50m to the NW and about 3m elevation downhill. The trig now sits proudly as a centrepiece to the central garden area for this Executive development. Kudos to the Developers Landscape Architect for this relocation. A lot of chipped areas on the pillar and central plug is missing, but good score for the position of this pillar. (I wonder if the Developer realises how many visitors will show up here over time)?

This scores over highly simply due to the fact that the developer, Seddon Homes, has actually had the courage and decency to retain the trig. It has been re-sited and no longer sits on the top of the hill. It has also been reversed as the flush bracket is now facing the opposite way to its original position. Its now on a slope, a little way from its original position but with free access to all. A job well done by Seddon Homes in my opinion - will look good once the vegetation grows. All the homes are currently empty. I do wonder what the residents will think of future trig tiggers! Incidentally access via the road opposite the White Bear pub (see my previous log & photo) is no longer an option as its fenced off at the entrance and a tall wooden fence further up the hill encloses the new housing from this side (see photo attached to this entry). Im on foot but parking in the old entrance (rather than the bus stop) might be an option as by walking up the footpath beyond the bus stop (see photo) just around the corner on the right a waymarked Public Footpath gives access to the entrance to the estate. The other option is to access it from the A650, Wakefield side of the Tingley gyratory, currently well signposted as the houses are up for viewing/sale.

Housing estate is now finished. There is a marketing suite selling the 5 bedroom houses, but right in the middle in its own garden is the trig. It is slighty damaged the top is knocked and it is shorter than I was expecting. It's open access so people will be able to visit it any time. Not sure if it's been resited or not I didnt have the GPS with me today. But well done to the developers.

Another visit after reading recent reports. Not sure about this one. I thought about asking the occupants of Tingley Hall bungalow about the fate of the trig at the top of their garden only to find that the bungalow and garage have been demolished and all surface vegetation removed. A fence surrounds the building site with an earth bank on the inside. Noone was about and it would have been easy enough to get onto the site through an obvious gap but I decided not to. Views over the fence obstructed by new houses and building plant/materials which make it difficult to determine reference points to how it used to be, but unless the trig is behind the fence at the top of the site then its gone - at least for now.

Trig not there at present - site now a building site. To be re-sited according to workman. Only access from A653 - new houses, fencing and vegetation on all other sides.

Been cautious about this one. Parked on verge just past bus stop. went back to start of drive then R though trees. Bumped into courting couple. He didnt look pleased! after wandering through trees came back to garden to L.round to right side of garden 10yds t trig. OK in dark but house not fsr away.

Visible and accessible if you are prepared to trespass into what I suspect is a garden. I approached from the A653 up the driveway of the two bungalows - the Private notice is still there but the wording has faded away! Go to the left on the bark chippings and then climb the bank behind the bungalows to the pillar by the fence. I do not think I was seen and was not challenged. In and out in five minutes. Pillar is in good condition although becoming quite moss covered. Plastic plug with one hole visibly open. A tranquil spot but views somewhat restricted.

*************Drove past April 2010. They are currently building on the site. High fence. Could not investigate *************Apprehensive, due to previous reports. However, was on bike so easy to bob in and out of these places.From RA go up road to bus stop. Just beyond is a tarmac slope, top of which are two bungalows (with no defined gardens).At top of slope, it says private, where the road sharply bends to the right towards the bungalows. If you step into (recently cut)grassy area on the left and head clockwise around the base of a slope, only climbing it when you get nearer the fence, you can get within 10 metres of the trig without being in view of the bungalows.

vgc, white, plastic cap. S from roundabout, surfaced driveway leads NE up bank to bungalow; trig is behind it. Area cleared but no further developments. Thanks to iainmac for putting me onto this one at an opportune time. Bagged after work - a weekend of tidying up.

Revisited whilst looking for remains of Tingley Hall (it had a wall bracket but was demolished in 1967). Trig pillar now much easier to access but that could change if the open ground is built over. See www.leodis.net for some pictures of Tingley's industrial past.

Area still clear although the grass/bluebells were beginning to get a hold. It's across the road from the White Bear pub, a simple wander up the access road (see photo) & upon reaching the field give the houses a wide berth. You just know that the vacant land will be housed before too long.

I expected a battle to get to this, but all the surrounding area has been cleared. I suspect they are going to build on it. So if you want to bag this one, do it sooner rather than later!

BEWARE! If you're uncertain of access for this one and wish to attempt under cover of darkness don't stray onto the bungalow lawn and set off the security flood lights! In diving for cover I almost took my head off on the branch of a tree! If you approach from the bus stop over the fence keep to the left of the bungalow grounds as there are gaps through the brambles all the way to the pillar. I parked on a service road approaching the roundabout from the east on the A650. There's plenty of parking and a footpath leading down to the bus stop which is just south of the roundabout. Good luck!

I approached the same way as ianmac & mickandshane (on my first attempt a couple of months ago I also went to the right) up the drive then keep left across the grass into the rough area. There are some tracks as if its being cleared. If you come this way take the right hand track climbing up a few feet and you will see houses in front of you as you face approx SE, as you face the RH end house the trig is under a tree and covered in brambles just to your right. I was approached by the man who lives in this house who was very pleasant, I told him why I was there and he pointed out where the trig was, as even though I was only 10 feet away I couldn't see it. He told me he had no idea who owned this bit of land. I had parked just off Bradford Road east of the big roundabout where you can turn off south into the residential area and there on the grass area is the Memorial to the crashed Halifax bomber mentioned by mickandshane below. Anyway this is definitely one the trickiest trigs I have found so far!!

We parked in the bus layby and found the trig quite easily this time thanks to the photos on the website. Head into the rough ground to the left of the bungalow, not the right which we did last time we looked for it. We didn't ask permission as the area seems to be a kind of no mans land. According to a reliable source there used to be a plaque near the trig in memory of a Lancaster bomber that crashed here during the war. Plug with plastic cap.

Another one that I had looked for before and given up on. Teasel told me that it was still there, so returned.

In a scrubby bit of land between the new house and the new houses behind. Easiest way to it is where the A653 leaves the roundabout on the east low bank with wooden fence - before the new house. Not sure who owns this odd bit of land but its not distinct from the new house garden.

Still looking for this one. Access is difficult due to new housing. I'm going to have another go though.
