Hello everyone.

I am trying to find the correct page on TrigpointingUK for the trig marked at the Jubilee Tower just south east of Quernmore, near Lancaster.

[url]https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Jubilee+Tower/@54.0097278,-2.7022526,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x487b7ce2b8484581:0x84647928e853a01d!8m2!3d54.0097278!4d-2.7000639

The flush bracket says OSBM 10825. It isn't on a normal trig pillar, it is on the building side facing the road.

Hope someone can help please.

Thanks in advance.

It's not actually a trig, but a type of benchmark known as a Flush Bracket.

Most triangulation pillars also carry a FB, but that's really just a matter of convenience.

More information on the BM in question here:
