I parked on Ormesby Bank and followed Flatts Lane to the reservoir. A full circuit of the security fenced compound revealed no way to gain access.
The pillar is a fair distance from the fence, but is visible at least. The cache is placed as near as feasible to the fence and the pillar is visible.
Pillar history: Built on the 18h of September 1948, at a cost of £12 2s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in March of 1981. FB is S4975
About Ye Ole Survey Monuments
|
 |
Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).
YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.
Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
