Geograph - photograph every grid square

With the former Smardale Station building in the background, the roadside fence marks the approximate position of the parapet of a demolished and filled in railway bridge. There was an Ordnance Survey benchmark on the parapet somewhere near the position of the left hand stone; it marked a height of 222.6869m above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) and was last verified in 1970. Note the unofficial 'No Parking' sign on the fence; this is a popular starting point for walkers following the railway path to Smardale Gill.
