The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

NUMBER 1,025

BENCHMARKS continued

In the early days of this site - June of 2010 to be precise - on a visit to Derry, Benchmarker gathered a rather good crop from the Walls and Gates of that Maiden City. They can be viewed as NUMBERS 36 to 43. Inexplicably this one, on the upper level of Ferryquay Gate, was missed and only discovered a week or so ago. Perhaps it was because on the earlier hunt Benchmarker found a 'mark at that particular Gate at street level and on the opposite side. A relative novice then, Benchmarker just didn't think that two could be so close together. Anyway better late than never, as some old codgers are known to remark.
