First of the day I walked up the steps and found a large block straight away the bolt has a cut through it but still there. Liked the observatory next door.

(1803) Everything very overgrown - and the mud bank was awkward to climb after some rain, but soon found thanks to the last vistor clearing away the moss. Some damage to the actual bolt is evident. As Pritch227 says it looks like someone has taken a hacksaw to it.

Block with 1.5" bolt. Hiding in deep grass although not covered. Gps wandering, cjo directions did the trick.

6.7m from N corner of old building heading towards the electric substation. The 1.5 inch bolt is in a very large concrete slab. It is almost as if this is a bolt in the top slab of the disused reservoir rather than a traditional "surface block".

N side of damaged bldg on top of resvr, inside broken fence. Bolt at corner, rather than centre, of the exposed part of concrete block. Easy to find.
