@PaulJohnson65 @Megthelibraria1 Jessica Ennis-Hill’s from Sheffield.
@BinFederation Outside your jurisdiction I know, but could this technology be applied to the wheeled cousins?
Smart bins in to send out alerts when full bbc.in/3NQ2KiK
@ollywomump That is certainly an arrow, but it isn’t a benchmark. Someone on here will know what it is. Anyone?
@TinaBeckDash Which one is you?
@driverbod125 Ah! This isn’t a benchmark, the arrow symbol was widely used by a number of government departments over the years. I believe this is one that the GPO used to indicate the location of a telephone cable.
@theOfficeRabbit @LakesStiles @Soapy_Wit_Tank @tismenic70 @LordOrk @ceadela @CharlesBewley2 @LansdellMum @ProjectWHYUK @RuthRendell1 @tutty352 @WindowsLake @Yeti98_ I do believe that that is this? Top of Jacob’s Ladder??

@BBenchmarks Coniston 😀😀😀👌
@rfj1966 Nice one! Similar style to this one at Bainbridge in the Yorkshire Dales.
@ghostsignsuk You may already have this one, it is up your way in Sandsend?
@ghostsignsuk as promised. A few from Loughborough, thanks to @35mmags
@JohnRymer1 @BenchmarkBaggi1 This reminds me, I have some ghost signs for you that I need to share. Leave it with me.
@BinFederation I can report, but failed to get photo evidence, that number 13 has now been replaced.
@IWoosey Sheffield. Has every city got one of these?

Spot the benchmark 😃 Bridge No. 53b #LeedsLiverpoolCanal
@MyFaveBench Do you still want a blue tick?!
@yorkie_dobbo Mostly, but not always yellow.
@yorkie_dobbo Another with yellow crayon. I find a few like this, I assume it was used to make them more visible when they were last used.
