Is it of interest to this forum to see photos of trig pillars, during land survey triangulation & EDM measurements, between approx 1975 and 2000?

I'm sure it would be! :) Perhaps simplest if you log these as 'visits' on TrigpointingUK and add captions/comments as
appropriate?

There are relatively few photos on the web of trig stations actually in use and so this would be a good opportunity to
learn more about the instrumentation and methods. It would also be interesting to compare views of and from trigs
as they were a few decades ago with the more recent photos that have been accumulated on this site.

Many thanks,
I will dig out those old glossy photos and scan a few.

Please post links here to the trigs when logged so we can see the photos!

Photos of trigs which have long since been lost, are particularly welcome.
