Ordnance Survey Benchmarks

Benchmarks, Bench Marks, BMs… Whatever you call them, to me they are part of our diminishing industrial heritage.

Positioned by the Ordnance Survey as part of their requirements to be able to produce their fantastic accurate maps.

Follow me into these pages and I’ll introduce you to some information that hopefully will help you see how you may like to get to know them better and want to get to know as many as possible where ever you are?

I thought that if every one adopted a Bench Mark there would be a much better chance of many more Bench Marks surviving for future generations?

So get on board, fellow benchmarkers… and make a difference at the same time as getting some exercise and fresh air.

Contact me if you would like me to come and give a Bench Mark talk to interested group or society in your area.
