UK Theatre Database

I have loads of programmes from theatre shows dating back years. I decided to setup an online database to keep track of all this data.

Tree Planting

I've started using Ecologi to plant trees with a total of 975 planted so far with a carbon offset of 16.79t. Signup using my link and you'll get 5 trees planted!

O/S Benchmarks

Ordnance Survey Bench marks (BMs) are survey marks made by Ordnance Survey to record height above Ordnance Datum. I record the logs of all BMs that I find on my travels.

O/S Fundamental Benchmarks

As the name suggests, FMBs were the core part of the benchmark network with around 200 of them around the UK.

Levelling Lines

Higher level benchmarks are joined together with Levelling Lines. As I discover benchmarks, the lines will become more obvious.

O/S Trig Pillar

Starting in 1935, Ordnance Survey began a retriangulation of Great Britain using their custom built Trig Points. I try to find as many as I can.

O/S Flush Brackets

Flush Brackets are a unique type of benchmarks, often used for identification and can be found on trig points too!

O/S Active Stations

The modern measuring system from Ordnance Survey, a network of GPS receivers across the UK.

O/S Blocks & Intersected Stations

Another form of Trig Point is the buried block or intersected station.

Tyne Tees Tunnel

Part of the Kielder Water Transfer Scheme, this tunnel runs from riding mill to the River Wear & Tees unknown to many. This is my project of finding and logging the elements of the tunnel.

Defense Structures

This section covers key defence structures, including ROC outposts and pillboxes, which were built as part of the UK’s wartime protective network.

Newcastle Space Invaders

Across Newcastle, I’ve discovered Invader’s ceramic tiles inspired by 8-bit video games.

Hills & Mountains

I'm not one for hill bagging, but in order to find trig points you've got to walk up them.

Photo Gallery

I've pulled together some of my photos into one simple location.
