Other Ordnance Survey Monuments

There are 61 other OS monuments listed on Explorer 297, most of these on the levelling line between Skipton and Wetherby which runs along the (old) main road through Pool, Otley, Ilkley and Addingham. Apart from a handful of bolts and the Wetherby Fundamental Bench Mark – which I have visited as it is a YOSM Cache location – all these are numbered Flush Brackets (FB). There are a lot missing, in the 45 years since the last surveyed levelling of the country was dons many buildings have been tarted up, extended or demolished and the flush brackets lost. 
The grid reference links take you to the OS map on Streetmap.co.uk
