Geocache Description:


A series of local caches placed at current locations taken from old photos, to show how things have changed, or maybe even stayed the same!

Although Verwood station suffered at the hands of Dr Beeching and closed in 1964, the railway inn remains and at the time this photo was taken Station Road took quite a different direction and passed over the railway bridge.  The tracks ran in front of the Albion Inn (known as the pub that crossed the road without moving), and the new layout makes it appear as though the pub has moved, though it is the only remaining building and is in its original position.

 

This is an offset multi and the final cache is a short walk away, an extraction tool may be required.  There is plenty of on-street parking on the side roads, but please avoid parking on Station Road itself.

At the posted coordinates you will see a utility shed to your left, with a sign on the front bearing a 10 digit number - ABCD EFG HJK

 

N50 52.(B-E)(A+B)(B-E-F-G)

W001 53.((H-B)+F)(J+C)(B-G-D)

 

Checksum for all digits - 59
