These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

This was a cool and unexpected find. I was driving by with a friend and they pointed out the cool old tower over there that they hadn't noticed before even though they have lived here many years. I made a guess that it once belonged to a brickworks kiln. I had an instant desire to see it better, so turned off at the next intersection to see how close we could get to it. Turns out you can park almost right at its base, and you probably will be able to do just that once they've finished works in the area.

We parked on the wrong side of the tracks and wandered over. On the way there we'd both considered that it could be a trig. I had the Benchmrk app open before my friend suggested it. Bingo! It sure is a Trig. Next thing to to open was google to read what it was.

So not only did I get to check out the cool old tower, but I also got to find a trig, and learnt about the old brickworks here. Nice.

Well, you can't miss this one! Lots of construction near GZ at the moment.
Hopefully the stack (trig) doesn't get demolished.
Thanks for the cache Smile
