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 396


BENCHMARKS continued

Not waving but drowning! M.C. arrived just in time to record the final moments of this one - on Bray Bridge, Co Wicklow - as it sinks to its doom under the sea of ever-rising concrete, to be lost for ever and all time. The great urgency of Benchmarker's heroic quest has seldom been more starkly illustrated. Tempus fugit!

Below: The 'mark on Bray Bridge. The top bar of the 'mark can just be seen below the stone testifying the identity of builders of the edifice.
