Can anyone confirm if these two pillars are o/s or not ?
I am hoping soon to complete all extant pillars in Warwickshire and the west midlands, do I need to visit or not ?

Hi Andy,

These two?

In his visit log, Rob quotes a detailed reply from the OS in which they appear to disclaim
the pillars as being theirs. And looking at the photos, the lack of a centre plug and spider,
and the slightly thinner pillar shape all support this. So the balance of evidence suggests
these are not OS. But no harm in visiting anyway!
I am hoping soon to complete all extant pillars in Warwickshire and the west midlands
Good luck with that plan; hopefully no reservoir trigs lurking
Regards
Ted

Hi Ted.
Hope you are keeping well, thanks for the information, I might still go and have a look when I am in the area, as for any tricky Reservoir pillars I know I can count on you
to get me in, I was rather proud of myself last month when I managed to get in to Buckly Resr, I am still working on Scarborough road resr, almost 10 years since by first
attempt and been back twice since, it will happen one day.
