London Road at Eastern Way junction
Ordnance Survey documents indicate that a benchmark was levelled at 119.392 feet above Liverpool Datum on a gatepost here (before Eastern Way was constructed) during the Ordnance Survey 1GL 1841-1844 Liverpool to Port Carlisle Survey. The surveyor's description was 'No. 464. Mark on pier of gate at East side of road ; 4.82 ft. above surface'
Derek Pattenson informs us that this marker post was removed some time between March 2019 and September 2020 , leaving just a dark mark on the wall behind where it was.
