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.

M.C. Spotted what appears to be an upside down 'mark across the road
on the other side of the bridge. Benchmarker believes it is simply an
arrow pointing to something buried underground there eg a cable or a
pipe. In the interests of world peace it is included here but not as
a 'mark. Sorry.
