Dist:0.2km<br/>This is the west parapet of Tilstone Bank canal bridge. The faint white line on the right of the photo indicates an early bench mark [[2864066]] This paprapet has had a lucky escape as at the time of taking the photo the opposite parapet was being rebuilt after allegedly being impacted by a farm vehicle.

Dist:0.2km<br/>You probably have to be a bench mark enthusiast (obsessive) to accept that the slightly whitened horizontal line is in fact an early bench mark that dates to the 1851-58 First Geodetic Levelling survey for this area. The arrow head is practically invisible but the mark is in the centre of the canal bridge as described on the original schedule. See also [[2864080]] For details of the mark see: http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm42167

Dist:0.2km<br/>Skilled workmen are busy repairing the east parapet of Tilstone Bank canal bridge #106. It was alleged that a farm vehicle, unable to cross the narrow bridge, was driven at it at speed, forcing its way across and badly damaging the historic parapet.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Ordnance Survey map gives the spelling as "Tilston Lock" but the adjacent settlement name is "Tilstone" and the latter spelling is used in both the Pearson and Nicholson canal guides. Whatever the spelling, it's a very pretty spot.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking along Tilstone Bank Lane where it crosses Tilstone Bank railway bridge. The parish boundary runs along this side of the railway so the bridge is actually in Bunbury parish. There is a bench mark on the left-hand parapet towards the far end of the bridge [[2864155]].

Dist:0.4km<br/>This bench mark is on the east parapet of the railway bridge, off centre and nearer to the southern end of the bridge. See also [[2864166]] For details of the mark see the Bench Mark Database: http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm42168
