Enterprising use of pillar for the footpath waymarker... a beautiful Winter afternoon the snow clouds preparing themselves and the last dazzle of gold sun on ice squelch fields. Surrounded by special hills... Boulsworth, Pendle, Deerplay, Parlick, Longridge, Pinhaw, Ingleborough in the murk and most importantly for today Winter Hill, site of trig number 1 from January 2015 and this is my 1000th at last.

4th trig of today's hike. From Longsight Rd I headed south on Showley Rd then Saccary Lane. Took a PRoW heading west, straight to the pillar. I definitely saved the best till last. Beautiful location and views. I met a nice local couple up there who gave me info about the history of the place as a Nuclear Monitoring Post (there's a plaque to commemorate). They told me they walk up there most evenings so if you see them, tell them I said Hi :)

A very rewarding bag. Parked up in the village and followed the FP up to the Nuclear Bunker and Toposcope then onto the pillar. Great views all around, including Pendle Hill, The Darwin Memorial and Winter Hill, but best of all for me was the Samlesbury aircraft factory. This would have been a great spot to watch English Electric Canberras and Lightnings taking off for delivery after assembly. Beer in the Traders Arms afterwards.

Nuclear fall out monitoring station. about 20 yards from the trig is the capital of what appears to be a fairly large underground bunker built in 1950 by the Royal Observation Corps to monitor fall out in the event of a Nuclear War! very cool. There's apparently around 1500 of these across the country.

Passing this location whilst out walking a section of The Lancashire Trail with my walking group, The Irregulars, LDWA. Pillar in good condition. Views somewhat restricted today as it was tippling it down on the day that a hose pipe ban had been announced!

At last, have logged the nearest pillar to our house. Saturday afternoon was overcast and nearby Pendle Hill invisible. The pillar was splattered with muck and some of the lettering on the viewpoint indicator slightly weatherworn
