Hi Brian
Each pillar has a plate with an OS reassigned reference, which is easily on
the ground verifiable. I believe that we should be using that rather than those
randomly assigned by a 3rd party site of unknown origin.
Hmm... Good job no one did
Adjacent to this query, there’s a Facebook group where people post photos of
postboxes https://m.facebook.com/postboxcollection/
It would be very useful to be able to fill in the blanks, like royal_cypher and
potentially collection times. Many postboxes have just the reference number on

I've noticed that some trigpoints are tagged with a reference prefixed
TPUK. This is a reference to the numbers assigned by the website
http://trigpointing.uk/ which has the following text as a footer: "The

That doesn't sound

The blue shows what I was talking about earlier where some of the
coastline was at MLWL and some was all the way up at the sea wall
(exceptionally high tide).
