Dist:0.1km<br/>Ordnance Survey passive GPS station. The OS website describes these points as follows: "Ordnance Survey's network of passive GPS stations throughout Great Britain allows GPS surveyors to precisely position their survey stations in the ETRS89 coordinate system. OS passive GPS stations are geodetic quality ground marks in user-accessible locations. A typical survey site in Great Britain will have several OS passive stations within 20-35 km (distances may be greater in the Scottish Highlands). The main differences between this network and the Active station network are that passive stations must be occupied by the user's own GPS reference receiver during the survey; and that typical distances from a survey site to the nearest passive stations are smaller than for Active stations, making required observation times shorter and allowing the use of single-frequency GPS receivers." This one consists of a brass bolt in a concrete block by the roadside. The location coordinates are derived from the OS database;

Dist:0.5km<br/>The road to the left is the only road access into the village of Thrumpton. Manor Farm beyond appears to manage to retain a thriving agricultural operation as well as running a touring caravan site. The EIIR letter box has reference no. NG11 52, and is apparently known as Newbarns.
