Weymouth seething with holiday makers. Secuity guard not having much success stopping teenagers jumping in from the piers.

ST70 T129 CENTRE. "Centre of spiral stairs and platform". And marked by a Victorian finnule shaped like a modern GPS antenna! OS actually have this reported destroyed.

At top of steps. The lamp is appears modern but this would be consistent with its computing date of 1989.

Restored structure on the end of the pier but lamp-less. Lots of fishing going on.

OS Bolt in the concrete at the foot of the prefab concrete bench, easy to spot.

OS bolt
position to the bench oddly, this bench is set in relaid concrete, the rest don't appear to have been.

The Bolt is 8.7m from the Lamp - 4.3m W and 7.6m S. The pier runs SW-NE, so the bolt is slightly closer to the land end, but offset to the SE. It is close to a concrete bench. It was re-computed in 1989. I did not measure the position, but I paced it out, and it seems to be right.

Had spent the day watching the Olympic sailing. Also found the near-by Bolt (and the Tide Gauge Bench Mark Bolt SY68267882 - opposite side of the harbour).

A delightful spot (known as Stone Pier) at the mouth of Weymouth harbour with views over Nothe Fort and Portland Harbour.
