NUMBER 200

BENCHMARKS continued

And so we come to a historic juncture - the 200th recorded benchmark. Da, daaa! Spotted by M.C on a joint safari, appropriately for its status as NUMBER 200, it is on a building at the entrance to the Ordnance Survey Headquarters in the Phoenix Park in Dublin. A brickie that, with its exact cuts, appears pristine. A truly lovely 'mark; we are not worthy.
